  As I said I reformated my computer after 5 years of hard work. Wgt  ran o.k without Flash player ( I was testing the game before joining) although slow.

  I downloaded Flash from main site only for Norton to inform me there was 3 Trojan Viruses and refused download !!!

  Downloaded Flash from C Net and it screwed everything up. Have since removed Flash player. The sites pages were loading section by section , for Example the Wgt title page displayed with the revolving wheel showing percentages, then the other sections piece by piece, taking 5 mins for the front page to display.

  Loaded the PLAY GAME page, same thing again.

  By now I am realy p'd off. cant load Wgt and play !!!!   I followed the advice on the forum as to how to get the best out of your sytem.

  Running Vista Basic and before  I reformated Wgt was fine.

  Getting urgent any help appreciated

  Regards

  Russ

  Hi,

  I am not sure what to tell you but the fact trhat Norton found something when you download from main flash site, leads me to believe that Norton is the issue. As far as other errors, I am not certain.

  Icon is 1/2 right.. These are called False/positives by Norton.  You will have this from time to time and need to learn what to over rule. Cheers

  Icon is right.......

  Norton is garbage as well.

  Post your system specs and people can help.

  Problem solved

  It was the Flash player that was downloaded from  main site that had 3 Trojan viruses ,Even the one from C?Net carried the same virus. so be aware.

  Thanks for the heads up mate.

  Edit:There has been some chatter on the net concerning security vulnerabilities in Adobe products, mainly PDF files, but good to know about their Flash as well. Makes life difficult when it is the dominant web page player :-/
