Help
I can't see the news at all either, on a PC with win2000. My default browser is Firefox, no idea if that affects it.
Version 3.9.2 Available for Testing dramatically faster logins!

I can see the news but it doesn't seem any different!

With this version, sometimes ( not always) when I click on a persons name to Chat and when I send the message, I get an error & when I click OK, the BBO application closes and I have to log in again.
I am not able to replicate this and not sure if this has to do with other applications running at the same time

Alano, would you care to try installing a file that might be missing on your pc?
Download and run the following program
http://www.bridgebase.com/atl/atl.exe
It is an installation program from microsoft that installs a file called atl.dll , which is needed by bbo.
We'd be very interested to know if this fixes the 'missing news' issue.

I tried installing the DLL (it's in \WINNT\system32), but I still get "Action cancelled. Internet Explorer was unable to link to the Web Page you requested....." whenever I try to view the news page.
Happy to try any other ideas.
Alan

much faster!
i have noticed one possible bug, but i haven't had a chance to attempt to recreate it enough times to be sure:
when kibitzing a table and bbo is in the background or not the active application, and the hand at the table is passed out, bbo is forced into the foreground to become the active application.
very small thing, really - but i suspect it may be somehow related to the new IE hook.

Uday
I have isolated my problem with the news to a firewall issue: my intertex firewall was blocking all traffic to Port 81, which it appears that BBO is using to connect to the news server. I have opened up Port 81 and it now works, and hopefully won't present an unmanagable security risk.
Anyway, useful to know that the connection accesses that port I think.
