During installation, a dialog
appears warning that email acceleration is disabled because another LSP
was detected. Why is it?
This dialog is a warning stating that e-mail acceleration is not possible on this computer due to a software conflict. An LSP is a Layered Service Provider, a piece of software that can be inserted into the Windows TCP/IP handler like a link in a chain. Unfortunately, this type of software is sometimes quietly installed by unrelated software such as file-sharing programs, sneaking onto a system unannounced. Because of the LSP, e-mail acceleration may not work properly, although the web acceleration should still work in some cases. If you would like to have e-mail acceleration, the LSP software installed on your machine must be removed followed by with a re-installation of the Accelerator.

Why am I not able to connect to
the remote service?
Please ensure that you have the correct username and
password. A specific username and password will need to be assigned to you, your regular dial up log in name will not work. You should not need to change the default server name and server port number. Also please make sure that you have an active internet connection and have made a payment for the service.
If the problem persists, please contact our technical support for further assistance.

Why is Netscape/Mozilla not
working with the Accelerator?
The primary reason for Netscape/Mozilla browsers not
working with the Dial Up Accelerator, is that the proxy setting
is not updated properly. Please make sure that Netscape/Mozilla
browsers, including quick launch located in the system tray, only
launch after
the Dial Up Accelerator is enabled.
Please do not attempt to stop/disable
it while you're browsing. Leave it on always for the entire time while
you're browsing. If the Accelerator is working properly, when you go to
any websites, the Dial Up Accelerator icon (in the system tray) should be
flashing/changing colour.
Also Netscape/Mozilla might not function properly if there
are mulitiple versions of Netscape/Mozilla installed on the same computer. To solve this problem, please uninstall any old version(s) of Netscape/Mozilla and reinstall Dial Up Accelerator.
An alternative solution is to configure the proxy settings
manually.
Please open the "Preferences" window in your
browser and set the HTTP Proxy as "localhost:5400" (shown below).
Please note if you take this step, you must remove these proxy settings
if you wish to browse without Dial Up Accelerator.

Why do some Java-applets (such
as certain games on www.pogo.com) not work?
Older versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
cannot display certain image types (such as 'PNG'). To fix this

Problems when using Dial Up Accelerator (Email)
-
When the Accelerator starts, a
dialog appears warning that another application is using port 25 or
port 110. Why is it?
By default, the Accelerator listens on 127.0.0.1:25 and
127.0.0.1:110, receiving redirected traffic. This warning shows that
some other application on the computer is listening on either one of
these ports. However, the web acceleration will still work properly. If
you would like to have e-mail acceleration, you need to disable the
application that’s listening on the specified port(s).
