Freeserve have recently started requiring customers to install a “Freeserve Connection Kit” to connect to the service. My mum connects through freeserve, so the last time I was down, I installed it for her. The problem was that, as soon as I was gone, she got back to her usual addiction – Freecell (I played thousands of games of this rather than writing my postgraduate dissertation 😀 – amazing that I still passed).
Anyway, Freecell had suddenly stopped working. There were strange characters in the title bar and the game could not be played. There was an error messaage about a device not being attached.
After shutting everything down except the dialler, the problem remained, but once I shut down the dialler, the problem was gone. So I hit Google, and found lots of people with the same problem, which Freeserve seems to be ignoring. This is their standard response. Not very inpressive.
In the mean-time, Atl-Ctrl-Del and shutting down ATdialler1 solves the problem.

Do you know if freeserve are doing anything about this problem they sent me instructions on how to uninstall their Connection kit! which they say everyone must use soon? what a mess up of course freeserve dont make enough money to fix it lol
I just had a message from freeserve, open a second window for freecell and this will play, and it works okay.
