Hi Jimmy s
The additional info we are trying to download takes you to the next level of
the game.To go on, this message appears in a box.The game downloads
additional content while you play.make sure you have an active internet
connection.
We then press the start key, and we have also tryed it by pressing the ok key. whatever we do from there nothing happens.
also i have tryed to download java and directx but get the same message,
cannot
download due to internet proxy settings?.
thanks for the help.
bella.

Hi jimmy s
yes i was able to do that download from that link, thank you.
but i still cant get any futher access, could it be my firewall?
 
Hi bella,

Yes, your firewall installation may have become corrupt.
Turn on your Windows firewall, uninstall your existing firewall,
and then try to download those applications / updates again.

Some agressive Antivirus software can block you as well.

Hi jimmy s
uninstalled my firewall and managed to have a go on the game.yipee.
then the game started playing up for my daughter.after reading problems with
the game from the website i decided to uninstall and start agian. now i cant
get on it due to a message saying script error do you wish to continue, say
yes and it repeats the message and thats it, so im stuck agian.?
bella.
 
Hi bella,

It sounds like the game didn't uninstall completely from Add-Remove programs.

Here's how to uninstall a game when using Add-Remove programs fails:

Step A: Start your computer in Safe Mode by holding down the F8 key.

Step B: Reinstall the game to the same folder it was installed to originally,
and then try to uninstall it again using Add-Remove programs. If
that fails, delete it's folder and any save games in My Documents.

Step C: Install and Run Regcleaner and if it finds any stray registry keys for the
game, delete them: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html

Hi thunderspike,

They could be in My Documents\My Games
Also, you could have references to your username in the registry.
Use the RegCleaner solution referenced in my previous post. ;-)
