New Whomper is ready.....COME AND GET IT!

[Barbara]

Works ok and then I get the message that the Whomper.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for your convenience and has send error report of don't send at the bottom.  I have deleted the old whomper and still get this message, was getting it on the old one too.  Even if auto runs a little bit before message pops up, I get it when I close it also. 

Here are my comp specs

1) Operating system XP Home Edition SP 2
2) Browser IE
3) Color setting 32
4) Screen resolution 1024x768
5) Smooth edges of screen fonts unchecked
6) What Java you are using: msvm

I am getting the same thing over and over again.  I have managed to move a quarter of a rank since last night.

I keep getting the Whomper.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close message too.  It happens when I try to pause the auto and restart it, move the mouse, and when I close the auto.  Other than that it works great as long as it is left alone and my cat is banned from the room, as she tends to swat at my mouse.  Oh well, still better than doing it myself for hours.

Smooth edges unchecked ? Where do i find it at? I cant seem to get WW to work. I open WW it keeps saying PLEASE WAIT. plz help

[Barbara]

You can look up the 'smooth edges' setting in XP by bringing up the Display Properties (right-click over the desktop and select Properties or open Display in Control Panel). Select the Appearance tab and click the Effects pushbutton.

I suggest you make sure the 'smooth edges of fonts' setting is unchecked to eliminate font problems with autoplayers.

[bobblehead]

I have word wizard auto, but when I bought it I got all of the autos at that time. Can I get the upgrade for the new whomper?

[Barbara]

If you are a buy-them-all cutomer then this auto upgrade is included.

Barbara....can you help
I have spent hours trying to get Whomper to work.
Windows XP
Internet Explorer
32 Bit
1024 x 768
Unchecked
Windows XP style
Default (blue)
Font Size Normal

Tried Java VM and Sun
Tried 1024 x 768 and also 1280 x 768
I deleted Whomper...redownloaded...I do have the shovel up.
I start game (push the ok button)  and it keeps saying to open game in browser window (which i am doing)  Then it disappears and does nothing.   I tried opening game and not clicking on the ok to start the game and the same thing happens.

Can you help?

[Barbara]

Do you have any other applications running and minimized along with this auto?  I noticed that if I have AOL minimized it will interfere.  I wonder if this would work on another browser?  Do you have another that you coud try?  I am using Sun and all your computer specs look right.  Get the game open first and the auto should grab a hold of it, move the screen ever so slightly and then it should start.  Try inching your screen over a tad to the left and see what happens.  1024X768 is the proper resolution.

Spider don't feel bad I'm in the same boat. I can't get WW to work at all either. I got the same setting as you and still nothing. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE

[spider11]

Tried everything and still won't work...i give up...I don't understand it....never had problems with any other auto

[EllenRules4Ever]

I got so mad because I couldnt get it to work so I restored computer . Guess what? It worked after but it ran for about 5 minutes. Not long at all. Not enough  for me to see how good it is before I buy it.

[Barbara]

That is the trial period for this auto.

[deedee755]
