  1. I'm suspecting you are talking about me? I am making pizza (not from scratch - the base is already baked) but everything else is fresh ingredients - the pizza stone is almost hot and ready to cook. I've got my pushbike... whose place should I visit first?

    Howdy graylox.

    Getting back to posting number one, and the second posting it links to.

    "Since GGAOTD launches their site after activation of a new program, my system crashes each time. Today - after the pirate game - it was very bothersome. A complete crash..."

    Firstly, I think there is a conflict of several programs which is best illustrated by the coolest game intro I've ever seen:
    http://www.archive.org/details/crash-n-burn (quality is weak, the original is much better)

    Which, also perfectly illustrates why you shouldn't have too many programs and processes running on your PC at the same time! :)

    *** quotes ***
    The error report of Fifo :
    "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/microsummaryPicker.js

    After having played and closed the game of today, I found the mainepage of GGAOTD with an error message launched in Firefox :
    "Error with opening a secured connection to sb-ssl.google.com. Error-code -8187"

    I'm still wondering, why did my system try to connect to s7.addthis.com / sb-ssl.google.com ?
    *** /quotes ***

    microsummaryPicker.js suggests that you have the OpenBook bookmarks extension running.
    - http://www.chuonthis.com/extensions/openbook.php

    addthis.com suggest you may have the addthis bookmark button thingy going too.
    - http://www.addthis.com/browser-button.php

    Then you have the GOTD client exiting and running who knows what kind of code relating to bookmarking their site on your PC for the 300th time.

    The result? See movie.
    (The 6.5 mb Windows Media one is good)
    Thats a lot of computer code running!

    As for sb-ssl.google.com, Firefox silently connects there to download anti-phishing, safe browsing type stuff.

    In any event, the video does sum up your situation, no? hehe

    Hi,ZF thank you for trying to help.
    As my system is not very strong
    XP SP2 - Pentium III - 800 MHz - 512 MB RAM
    I'm always cautious with running too many progs at the same time. Besides the usual suspects (Kaspersky...)there might have been notepad, but nothing else. I had closed Firefox before installing the game.
    Those two extensions ( OpenBook and AddThis ) are not installed at all.
    The intro is quite funny, and pictures the result but not the starting position.
    If this pizza boy should arrive before I am starved you are welcome.

    your system tops this laptop- p3-450 192 megs- but then, I don't run games on it, (only 4 megs video ram...) I download to my athlon xp, authenticate here and install on terri's machine over the LAN.

    Yeah, I'm lazy- or is it bored?
