  2. Try clearing your browsers internet files and history.

  4. emptykiss, depends on what browser you have, but it's usually inside the options; What you're looking for is either something like "Delete temporary internet files" or "Delete cache".

    If your using IE7 click on "Tools" then its the first option. Then select all and it will remove everything. Give it a try and let us know.

    If you are using another browser post what type you use because there are many knowledgeable people here using just about every type of browser out there and we will give you hand. Keilron is correct if your using IE6 or lower.

  6. or install a handy free program called CCleaner (crap cleaner) which can clean these files (and more) from your computer. Very easy and convenient to use.

    Its NOT his computer.
    Its wikifortio.
    I get the impression its fine some areas of the world - anything BUT others.
    "File '631861' is not found on any working WikiFortio server. Please try again later"
    Is the message I'm getting for todays (Aston) giveaway

  8. Yes. Sorry I was thinking of another post where the user was seeing the previous days giveaway.

    I have also seen these error messages on wikifortio. When that happens - I just use the mirror site. If I still get problems - I use the contact form on the main page, to let the GOTD team know so they can fix it.

    To be absolutely fair, Bubby - I've just used CCleaner and it downloaded fine - and Aston worked fine too - but I immediately went back to Vista's desktop as while it is certainly great, Aston is confusing and hunting down where basic things now are is irritating (as is the bunching together icons in one lump and not being able to grid-arrange them)

  10. As with any new software, some programs you can just use straight away without any difficulty - others you have to "learn", maybe read some doco, and just spend some time "getting used to it".

    Aston is obviously one of the latter. But you are not alone - most users actually expect that they should be able to install some new software and be fairly competent at using it straight away. Whether that is a flaw in the design of the software, or the expectations of the user.... That's one can of worms, I'm not about to open... :)

  11. er, just one question: who is WikiFortio? I've never heard of such a website until now...

    Posted 11 months ago #
  12. Its just a hosting site for files/software downloads but only for a short while. They have a very simply interface for uploading your files and retrieving them.

  13. akexiussg, you use the site every day you download something from GOTD. :b

    For example - todays download is available at http://www.wikifortio.com/413465/Aston.zip

    So the servers that users download the daily giveaways from are hosted by wikifortio.com

    i figured it out guys,

    mozilla firefox doesn't work with mozilla firefox.

    use IE as your browser instead.

    empty kisses for you guys...

  15. Firefox works just fine for me... but if IE works for you, that's fantastic.

    As long as you get the download, I suppose it doesn't matter which browser works for you.
