Default Joost Won't Run

Is anyone else having problems with running Joost?

I've downloaded it many times in the hope it will run but it won't. I've read on various sites that it could be a firewall/Virus Scanner etc. problem but I've turned off security stuff and it still won't run.

Any ideas one how to get Joost to run?

I'm using Windows XP - Service Pack 3

It would not run with service pack 2 so I know that service pack 3 isn't the problem.

Try running Joost via the Run As Administrator option from the right click context menu.

Also, recommend you read ... Joost - Release notes for Windows and

Joost - System requirements for Windows.

I only have 1 account on PC so can only run as me

I've read the release notes and did what it said but it still won't run

UPDATE .... It's now loading but telling me I'm using a proxy server and can't use it ... I'm using broadband

Any other ideas? lol

Proxy Server...click on Tools > Internet Options
Click on Connections tab
Click on LAN settings button

Is the Proxy server box checked?
If so, uncheck it.

My internet connection has always been set on LAN, I have checked again and all settings are fine.

I'm beginning to think that Joost is a heap of junk. I used it in an earlier version and I'm sure it was fine then.

I know it's still in beta so perhaps I'll wait until it's all working properly
