2011-10-08 19:45:07 - Can't run any race
Hello,
I used to be able to run any race with my laptop but not anymore. I run Windows 2000 SP4, IE ver. 6 and Flash player ver. 10,3,183,10 on the laptop.
Can someone inform me what has happened? Has there been an update to SOL which makes my computer not working anymore??

That flash version is above min requirement.

Are other flash based sites effected?

What exactly happens when you try to load a race?
Does anything load?

As an experiment, try Google Chrome browser...

Hello,
Thks for your reply. I haven't noticed any other problems. What happens is that I come as far as "waiting for weather download" but not any further.
Don't know what to do?

IE 6 is a very old version. Have you tried updating (I run 8) which works with SoL when I use it - although I prefer Firefox(7) which is faster and more stable.

I managed to update my OS to Windows XP and now I can run a race again. I also updated IE to version 8.

Red Eye - Frisian Isles Trophy 2025

For our final “Red Eye” race, we invite you to cross the Noord Zee to the Wadden Zee, where a 160nm course around a few sandy islands raced on SOL only once before in 2010 awaits you. We don’t have a replica of Erskine Childers’ Dulcibella in our boathouse, and in any case if we took her out, we might well contract more than one “Red Eye”, so instead we’ll race our very own riddle of the sands in Farr 400s!

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Carnarvon to Dondra


From here, our home in Bharatavarṣa is now north west of us – said Sinbad to his fellow balloonists. Perhaps we can ride the wind first further north, and then catch the winds that every year bring the rain, perhaps not. It’s 2600nm and we could be aloft awhile, so, Master el-Quarters, victuals only, no sandbags, provisioning the giant hamper. It will be not a picnic!
