This is just part of the crap I got from RA!

The New RealArcade was recently updated and if you are still using the older release you may experience several problems. The steps below explain how to uninstall the New RealArcade without affecting your games. Once uninstalled visit the Evaluation games site to reinstall RealArcade.

I wouldn't even bother striking up a conversation with GameHouse, they don't reply...shush it's a secret!

I do have a folder in C: called GameHouse Games, but it's empty, lol!

Thanks guys,
Robert, I never got an email with a code. I get the the checkout review page , click checkout and the next page says "We're sorry, but we could not find the game you're looking for". Suki, I now know that Gamehouse doesn't respond, I'd already called Realarcade and have the newest realarcade installer (which I hate.) I'll try your suggestion to uninstall it and see what happens.

LOL, I just can't win!

This morning McAfee ran its big scan on my computer, I had to get some sleep...%-)

I have Magic Ball 2 and Magic Ball 2 New Worlds installed on this computer, they have been on here for 2 plus years!
I had gone looking in C: this morning about the GameHouse issue and looked in my RA folder...there was a GameHouse folder in that one too, but it only contained the GameHouse logo!

Now McAfee has quarantined two of the files for the Magic Ball's, saying they have a Trojan(generic Artemis), can anyone tell me why this would happen all of a sudden?

Did I open the door and let something in, I can always redownload the games from RA if they have ceased to work...it's just plain weird that McAfee would flag them at this time! I must have left to many fingerprints, lmao...

Thanks, Suki

Have you tried this link to get "Polly Pride Pet Detective"?

http://realarcadeextras.com/spacebuddies/

This is the one that worked for me! Make sure you turn off pop-up blocker, I used Firefox, so I had to do it twice, once to allow the pop-up then went back and all was fine!

As of this post the link still works, I watched the video and it took me to Gamehouse sign-in...this was the only way I could do it...they sent the info to my in-box and thank god it was an .exe file!

P.S. I think PJ Pride-Destination Europe(I think), stunk!

hi, suki...

yesterday, McAfee decided i also had that Trojan...in my Webroot Window Washer program, and former giveaway program "Bulk Image Downloader"...the discovery/added date listed by McAfee for that Trojan is 8/22/2008............so...scans missed it for that long?...or yet more false positives from McAfee?...

in december, McAfee was on a real roll...found Generic.dx Trojan, first discovered/added 3/12/2007, in East-Tec Eraser 2008, Wondershare Democreator, Remote Asset Tracker...after McAfee updated their virus definitions, i was able to restore East-Tec...Wondershare runs, but throws an error on one of the tabs...and Remote Asset Tracker was completely lost............all false positives, apparently...

oh, yeah...McAfee also found a Trojan (don't remember which one, but first discovered/added in 2007) in BurnAware...my (better) Giveaway version was lost for good, but i was able to install the free version...again, after McAfee updated their virus definitions...

i hope after another virus definition update, i'll be able to restore Bulk Image Downloader...that one was a keeper for me...if not, i'll have to see if i have the bucks to buy it...

as for McAfee...i purchased the Agnitum Outpost Security Suite after seeing the posting by Fubar about the sale they recently had...50 bucks for a lifetime license for three PC's...seems i should have installed it quicker............i'll run that with on-demand scans (Spybot, etc., as long as they play nice together)...

SORRY TO HAVE RATTLED ON, EVERYONE...i am a bit perturbed here...probably should have started a "Beware Of McAfee" thread...

suki...they updated again today...maybe you can restore what you lost...i am betting it is another round of false positives...

good luck...

Hello everyone. I sent another report into Gamehouse and asked her to take a look at our forum here to see if that would help her understand what's wrong. I'll post the solution for you to try here--ahem, if you want to (Disclaimer). I have to confess that it didn't work for me, but, I'd love to know if it works for any of you all. Thanks, Dax
******************
This is caused because the Windows Component that handles the loading of web-objects isn't registered or known to the program. This can cause script errors or blank pages to load when a program tries to load information from the web.

Solution 1: Restoring the Java Loader (for Windows Vista)
1. Click on Start
2. Type CMD into the Search Box located at the bottom of the Start Menu and press the ENTER key.
3. Right-click on CMD from the program list and select "Run As Administrator".
4. A black console window will appear. Please enter regsvr32 jscript.dll and press the ENTER key.
5. You'll see a message that says "RegisterServerDLL jscript.dll has succeeded". Click OK on this message.
6. Restart your computer to finish this process.

Solution 2: Restoring the Java Loader (for Windows 2000/XP)
1. Click on Start
2. Open the Run program
3. In the Run Box, type in regsvr32 jscript.dll and press OK.
4. A message will appear saying "RegisterServerDLL jscript.dll has succeeded". Click OK on this message.
5. Restart your computer to finish this process.

Once you've completed these steps, try loading the program again. The program should now load as intended.

I also had troubles with both Gamehouse and RA! Fixed both of them...I will try to give you the way I managed GH: 1: Use Firefox Add on (DownThemAll): the problem lies in the installer not downloading the entire file (thus corrupt file). 2: Each free game has its own installer, when box comes up do not run click on "dT one click" - oh make sure you have the drive listed as to where you want downThemAll to save files: for me it's F:Gamehouse in this case. - now when dT starts downloading check the size of download ex: downloading xxx of 650.5kb you shouldn't have any problems - BUT - if you do this is what you will get: a size mismatch - in this case just highlight the download (click on it) then click on resume: sometimes you have to do it twice....works everytime.

Hope this helps. By the way if probs. with RA let me know might be able to help their also (requires regedit - root - realarcade rename.
Happy gaming
Bonnie
