KIREEK Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Maybe this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/internet-explorer-8-details.aspx http://www.filehippo.com/download_internet_explorer_xp Don't worry, i also run windows xp, security issues are not a problem, i can't acess my router in windows 7 for an unkown reason and despite being able to run more things on windows 7, some will stop working and the ones i can make it to work will run poorly due to the outdated hardware i have. In general it's better to update, but that are always reasons to stick with windows xp, as i mentioned if you have a good conduct online, if you know what is running on your OS, if you do backups, if you use firewalls, javascript disablers, an antivirus and an account without admin priviledges then you are good to go. Modern OS are more secure because they need to compenssate for ppl ineptitude to actually have a good conduct online, they also update often due to security problems, but again it is far more likely that the HDD or the SSD fails.

(InB4 people spouting crap about updating to win 7. Some people can't afford to do it now get lost. I for one see no point in running win7 on a computer that doesn't even have a 4gb of ram. It's a work PC which I use casually and has been working fine and will continue to work fine.) Edited January 31, 2015 by Lilliannette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(NSW)LilVanu Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) SP3. The game does start, he just can't log in. What is the error message when he tries to login? Is it a failed to connect to the server? Also what version of internet explorer is installed, I'm not certain it has much to do with it but the internet explorer version I have installed on this win xp machine is 8.0.6001.18702 If his internet explorer isn't upgraded perhaps it might need an update.

UndeadGhostWarrior Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) tell him to try going to the help tab in IE and maybe there is an add certificate set of steps somewhere there? or maybe try typing in google "how to add certificates in IE" . i find that always works when i myself need to checkup certain things Edited February 7, 2015 by UndeadGhostWarrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
