AW Tech Support Tip Of The Month
The questions of "I start Active Worlds, or shortly thereafter, it
crashes. How can I fix this? "
Suggestions of following steps in order were , try to start Active Worlds
again. If the problem is not solved, move on to the next step.
- Locate the folder called "cache" in your Active Worlds folder
and delete it.
- It is possible that you have an old driver for your video card that
needs updating. Make sure that you have the very latest video driver
installed for your video card. You can get the latest driver for your
card from your video card manufacturer's web site. You can usually locate
this web site by doing a web search for your video card.
- An old, partially deleted, or corrupted install of Internet Explorer
may be present on your system. Downloading and installing the latest
version of Internet Explorer from www.microsoft.com can fix this problem.
- You may have a virus or disk problem on your PC. Try running a virus
scan, and run the Windows ScanDisk utility to check your hard disk for
problems. Also make sure that you have at least 50 megabytes free on
your hard disk.
As a last resort, you were then to try uninstalling and re-installing
Active Worlds completely. If none of these steps had solved your problem
users were instructed to contact the tech team.
