pingo pinger has not worked for me no matter what i do. everytime i run it, the program fills in all the numbers and calls bingo falsely. i am using the program for ez win bingo so that is not the problem. i have done everything that has been suggested including installing java vitural manager, updating windows, dowloading the lastest version of pp9.exe, and the program continues to fill in each bingo card. i have played this bingo with pingo on a computer at my school and everything was fine so i know something might be wrong with my computer. i am running win98 if that might be part of the problem. any type of help is appreciated.
Sorry, but if you have tried the faqs on the wordzw website and it still doesn't work I don't know what to tell you. It works fine for me.
I would recomend upgrading to WinME.
do you think a past version of pingopinger might work?
Where would you get it? You can only download the latest version.
doesnt JVM = java virtual machine, i think bingo is a waste of time cause whats the chances your going to get the bingo and then whats the chances of actually getting the $50..out of all those chances, put them together and you get pretty low odds of winning anything :'( what was the deal with fortune bingo, when i played there was only 300 tokens up for grab..so why get an auto that only gets 300 tokens every once in awhile ::)
okay, i went to the window update sight and i realized i that not all of downloads were done. now windows is updated, but now whenever i try to get into the room, the game is stuck on the blue "loading please wait.." screen. what do i need to do now?
Try dumping your temp files
my temp files folder is empty
i play bingo when im in a chatty mood, and hey u never know with the $50
maybe clear out the your Java cache also, just a wild guess
don't get ME it sucks. Infact i think it was recalled. LOL gl
yea i had ME befor and i hated it, so i switched to an XP :P
just remember any new version of MicroSoft will be filled with holes that need patches....imagine if GM put out cars with things missing....

no doubt it is a good suggestion, but i would rather not have to buy a brand new operating system just to use the pingopinger software.
i know i wouldnt pay for a win OS, simply because microsoft made it and its not like they dont have enough money as it is..
LOL If that happened, microsoft would be out of business. They still own the rights to the software. Now had they gone out out of business long ago, your money would probably go to the retailer. Not that it matters much, but why pay for something no longer being supported??
It's just profit on the side, and hardly anything is considered free anymore.
Truthfully, until microsoft comes out with something better, I'm sticking with win98 or win2000. They may not be 64-bit OS'es, but I know they run alot faster on newer pc's. Even on the pc's that say they're designed for XP.
w98se works great for all auto's, i use east-tec eraser 2004 to clean my puter, does a great job, a fosi app. ;D
I agreee with DJ.
I have WinXP pro (prob the only one here running a legit OS hehe) The first place i hit on a fresh install is the services then gpedit.msc, tweakui, control panel / system and remove all that damn eye candy.
I love XP, but i still prefer to have it with the win2k look / feel.
I have used the autos successfully with 98SE and XP. ;D
i just d/l win98se from irc, what do i do next?
how do i wipe my system out, how do i make a boot disk and where will i find the serial number? also do you mean 3/5 inch disks or cd-r disks? i am sorry or asking so many questions, but i really don't wanna f--- up my computer.
thats why i dont mess with my OS, a newbie like me really should'nt lol :P
please let me know how to wipe my system and all of the other questions i asked. i am already in the process of saving my all of my documents to CD-Rs that i don't wanna lose and every program that i lose can be redownloaded again. trust me, i won't hold you responsible dj.
hey whats the difference between XP professional and home edition? thks
Taken from microsoft.com :
Remote Desktop, a feature found only in Windows XP Professional, lets you set up your computer for connection from any other Windows-based computer. Leave a file at home? Don't want to lug a laptop around? Remote Desktop gives you access to your computer from virtually anywhere.
Windows XP Professional is best for people who connect to large networks, such as a school or office network, since it allows you to join and be managed by a Windows domain.
The Encrypting File System (EFS), found in Windows XP Professional but not Windows XP Home Edition, allows you to encrypt your files and folders for added security of sensitive data against theft or hackers.
Windows XP Professional provides more robust options for backing up and restoring data than Home Edition.
i appreciate all of your help dj.
dj, i just wanted to let you know that i successfully finished updating my OS. I also have fixed the problem that didn't allow me into pogo. thank you.
Hey thanks Mayhem :)
i know, i know always goto google befor asking stupid questions LOL :P
or in my case, just to the site of the big bad makers of the sofware ;D
