Well, the code in that add-on has a serious code execution vulnerability that exposes Firefox users to the "browse and you're owned" attacks that are typically used in drive-by malware downloads. The flaw was addressed in the MS09-054 bulletin that covered "critical" holes in Microsoft's Internet Explorer but, as Redmond's Security Research & Defense team explains, the drive-by download risk extends beyond Microsoft's browser. While the vulnerability is in an IE component, there is an attack vector for Firefox users as well. The reason is that .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installs a "Windows Presentation Foundation" plug-in in Firefox. Now, Microsoft's security folks are actually recommending that Firefox users uninstall the buggy add-on: <a href="http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=4614%22%20target=%22_blank" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=4614%22%20target=%22_blank</a> For Firefox users with .NET Framework 3.5 installed, you may use “Tools”-> “Add-ons” -> “Plugins”, select “Windows Presentation Foundation”, and click “Disable”. as for NET.Framework auto up date you will get 3.5, I set up date on manual & say no to net Framework 3 & 3.5 Whiterabbit-uk on "Alawars free monthly game - Snowy: Lunch Rush" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2964/page/2#post-64414 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:43:56 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 64414@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ The more games the merrier as far as i'm concerned. I do sometimes find it hard to choose what to play, but to be honest, I've always got something that will fit my mood. Aquaball and timebreaker are also great arkanoids. If you ever get the chance to get the two I mention were my favorites i hihly recommend them. Another one called Clash, which is also available from Alawar is excelent. It's got odd graphics, but i really like it. Apart from the Ricochet series from Reflexive, one of the best all round arkanoids I've ever plaed is called Acky's XP Breakout. Superb game play, with some unusual elements, but also surprises cropping up throughout the game. It also comes with a levels editor and some custom made levels from the developer. It's several years old now so the graphics look a little dated, but it still looks good. It just doesn't have the polish of say Magic Ball 3 & 4 or Ricochet. I'll have to list my top 10 later. got to get homework ready for when the kids get back from swimming, then write up todays free game. :) later WR Dragonlair on "Alawars free monthly game - Snowy: Lunch Rush" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2964/page/2#post-64401 Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:42:26 +0000 Dragonlair 64401@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Thanks, WR! That was the answer I needed. I was kind of hoping for that answer since it ended up so weird with what I did for Magic Ball 2. Before I played the little trick of the over-install, I had one pack (original) of 125 levels. Afterward, I now have 3 packs (original, Bonus Pack 1 and Bonus Pack 2) each with 125 levels so I tripled my fun! I now have 375 levels with Magic ball 2 along with those from Magic Ball and Magic Ball 3. I currently have 8 breakouts from Alawar (mostly from here). I have Aquaball, Hyperballoid Complete (with the extra packs as per your suggestion a couple of years ago on that - each at 50 levels), Magic Ball, Magic Ball 2 and Magic Ball 3, Roboball, Strike Ball 2 Deluxe (the one that started all this) and Time Breaker. I know I have only a fraction of what you have but I only have one machine and my external hard drive is for backups. However with about 415 games, my collection isn't exactly trivial (especially if you ask my husband). ;) Thanks, again.

No, they have never made any expansion packs for Magic Ball 3; instead they took 2 years to release Magic Ball 4 (which I've always considered an expansion of MB3, lol). It was was released almost 2 years to the day after [b]Magic Ball 3 was released. I did ask on a number of occasions over on Alawar’s comments section if they would consider releasing a levels editor, but they had answered that it was difficult to create a usable levels editor for 3D arkanoids; (to which I replied that there were level editor's for a couple of 3D arkanoids, one of which they already developed/sold called X-Ray Ball) and Adventure Ball, which was sold by Real Arcade and Reflexive (who are now owned by Real Arcade). The latter was a really easy to use levels editor, and the games was better than Magic Ball 2 in my opinion. Though there were two even better 3D arkanoids available around the same; (see below) You can see from the images below that there is little difference between MB3 and 4: Magic Ball 3: <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/Magic-Ball-3.jpg"></center> <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/magic-ball-3-large-6.jpg"></center> <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/MB3.jpg"></center> Magic Ball 4: <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/magic-ball-4-screenshot1.jpg"></center> <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/magic-ball-4-screenshot6.jpg"></center> <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/mb4.jpg">[</center> Wheras there was a big difference between the graphics in Magic Ball 1, 2 and 3 (plus there are more power ups as you progress from 1, to 2 to 3.

One was called the Spring pack and another the Valentines pack (I bought those), I'm sure there was another, but can't remember its name. I've yet to reinstall Magic ball 2, so don't know whether all the expansion packs have been incorporated, but I reckon they have because three other arkanoids (Hyperballoid Complete (released elsewhere as Hyperballoid Golden Pack), Action Ball Deluxe and Strike Ball 2 Deluxe, have all had their expansion packs incorporated into the main game over the last year or so.

You had to hit certain sequences to unlock the mini games and there was an free levels pack to add, with a promise of more, but they never appeared.

Actually, there are two or three other 3D arkanoids that I think are much better than the Magic Ball series; the main reason being that they were more challenging or had unusual game play elements to the that made them better (IMO). They were Neo Ball, Arcon toys and one I've forgotten the name of (which had brilliant brick physics, a little stone age man who threw or kicked the ball and some unusual power ups) (both the ones I mention were previous giveaways that were also given to us from Alawar) (I may post images later, 'I didn't intend to spend so long on this thread, lol') Edit: I remembered the name of the third game. It's called shattera. there were a couple made, though one actually had a name change when sold via reflexive arcade.: Shattera: <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/other%203D%20arkanoids/shattera.jpg"></center> Neoball: <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/other%203D%20arkanoids/neoball-screenshot2.jpg"></center> Arcon toys: <center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/comparing%20Magic%20Ball%203%20and%204/other%203D%20arkanoids/arcontoys.gif"></center> I could only find a low res image of Arcon Toys and I don't have a screen capture device installed on my lap top, which is where my copy of Arcon Toys is installed. The main attraction with Arcon Toys was the unusual arena, which used to move and some power ups took you into the arena and the camera would follow the ball. The image shown above almost looks like a 2D game, but it isn't. Plus it also had some unusual graphics. Neoball had different shaped arenas for each level plus unusual power ups plus graphics comprable to Magic Ball 2. Of course alawar have since released a newer version of Actionball called Actionball 2 and also the 2D arkanoid Hyperballid 2. Oh yeah, i've just remembered about Roboball, which was an okay game, but it took a retrograde step back from Magic Ball 3, which was released around three months before Roboball. Images later (maybe).

I was a little surprised to find it switched from full to demo, though. I was even more surprised to find the 2 extra game packs after the restore. What I have for Magic Ball 3 has 4 "sections". All the levels in each section has a similar theme. My question was "Are there more puzzles besides these 4 sets?" Will this same trick work for 3? The graphics on the first are a bit more primitive and with Strike Ball 2 Deluxe, I probably don't need those. I just want to know if I can get more puzzles for 3!

We've had friends of the kids here all day so it's been a little hectic. Yeah you can just install over the old games. Under no account use an unistaller though as this may wipe your rgistry entries. Of the three Magic Ball games Magic Ball 3 has to be the most fun. i was disappointed when I beta tested Magic Ball 4 as there was nothing new added. I was hoping for even better graphics, and more power ups. Still it's as good as Magic Ball 3. :) WR Dragonlair on "Alawars free monthly game - Snowy: Lunch Rush" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2964/page/2#post-64356 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 17:01:24 +0000 Dragonlair 64356@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ WR, your trick worked but not quite the way I expected! I have the first three Magic Balls from here. Based on what I can find, I got them in reverse order - 3 then 2 then 1. You never answered whether to install over the existing program so I looked at the registry. Since the place of install was in the registry, I installed the "new" Magic Ball 2 OVER the existing one (after creating a restore point). Avira got a bit upset with the install but did it at my insistence. However, when I tried to play it after the new install, it said it was a trial version. Oops! I restored my system using the restore point and then tried the game again. It was back to the full version (thankfully) but it also now has 2 extra puzzle sets (Bonus Pack 1 and Bonus Pack 2). I don't see any place to select any "packs", (just sections for Magic Ball 3) so before I even try this hokey setup again I HAVE TO KNOW. Are there any bonus packs for the original Magic Ball or for Magic Ball 3? Thanks for the extra puzzles. :-)) notblocklox on "Community Test Forum" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2864/page/8#post-64326 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 10:41:48 +0000 notblocklox 64326@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ Great voice, reminds me on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuapkQxES7M">Janis</a> Robert on "Community Test Forum" http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2864/page/8#post-64324 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 09:33:14 +0000 Robert 64324@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6195#post-64318">TEST</a> :) ...

I think 3 came later. However, you didn't answer my questions! Which games should I play with and how? I noticed that Gamebox sees all three as "full" so I shouldn't have problems with the registration and I have made a restore point.
