Flanks Phlinx wont work

[twizted]

Hello. I ve seen this posted before, I did DO a search before I asked ;) Someone else has had the same problem, and Homer's response was to just redownload the cheat. Ive had to register it twice, second time finally accepted, but now it wont work. I either get " flanks encountered a problem and needs to close" or the cursor just sits there blinking, like it wants to shoot the ball. When I try to puase the game to figure something out, the cursor goes haywire and goes all over the screen. This is the only auto Im having an issue with. Any simpler fix than to delete it and start over with another password? I have:

Browser » Microsoft Internet Explorer

Screen Resolution » 1024x768

Color Depth » 32 bit

Smooth Fonts* » Enabled

Im running Windows XP. Ive tried unchecking the 2 top boxes for the smooth font thing. It didnt make a difference. Im also running Java sun? (The one with the coffe cup looking thing in the stat bar.) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated O0

You should disable smooth fonts. There are autos that won't work with that feature enabled. Try turning off Sun Java and use Microsoft VM.

Where do we find the smooth fonts tab?  :-\

[Homer]

Right click on your desktop> click properties>Appearance>Effects>Uncheck Smooth edges of fonts

[Jewel]

Ahhh, ok, thanks Homer  :) Mine was unchecked.  :)

[Homer]

Your welcome. ;)

Hey Homer. OK, I disabled the smooth fonts...No go. So then I went in and unchecked the Java 2 v 1.4 2_03. That didnt help either. Where would I find the Microsoft VM one? My computer is 2 years old. Or should I just delete the auto and re-download? Will I have a problem getting a new password? Thanks...

Microsoft VM should be in the advanced tab right below the Sun Java. You want to check the box that says JIT Compiler. If it is not there you can download it from our club center the link is in the double browser tips.

OK, got the MS VM. Checked the boc that said JIT. Still didnt help Flanks. Ya know whats weird, when I go to open Flanks, a box that looks like that black DOS page opens first, then the auto opens. Guess maybe I'll have to redownload cheat. Im SO glad I downloaded the MS VM though!!!! WOW, my pogo games load in seconds now!! Before, it took FOREVER, and I have satellite connection, not dial up. Anyway, after I re-download flanks, do I email for the password at the same badgehelp address? Thanks so much for all the help.

If you registered it already it should recognize it as being registered.

I deleted it last night and it was still registered when I re-downloaded it. Still dont work though. Oh well, maybe in a few months they'll come up with a new version. Thanks Anyway.

I know this may sound silly...but I changed my windows theme to Silver and some of the autos that weren't working magically started to function again.

[Mayhem]

I use the silver theme and all the autos work here.

Ok this may sound dumb but what is a silver theme and how do I change to silver theme, couldn't seem to find a silver theme in my desktop properties  ???

[Mayhem]

it should be there ..

1) "right click" your desktop and select "properties"
2) Cleck on the "appearance" tab
3) Look for "Color scheme:" and click on the down arrow till you see "silver"
4) Click "Apply"

... and your ready to go  O0

[Jinx55]

Well I did look and there are a lot of color themes but no silver...hmmm :(  I guess my comp doesn't have any silver

[Mayhem]

Are you running windows 2000?

[Jinx55]

Ummm...no...XP

[Mayhem]

Hmm .. weird. I'm using XP pro myself

[Jinx55]

Ok I got it now.. I was in windows classic...silver is in XP style  thanks I learned something new :)
