Hello I have already submited this once but problem wasn't solved. Now there is no more fed back and still have problems so here we go
My problem happens when I attempt to load Renegade or to join a game in gamespy. What happens is the renguard program loads but it stays as a white screen. When I do CTRL + ALT + Delete it says that the program is not responding. I have tryed just leaving it and nothing happens. I have tryed reinstalling it and it works once or twice then the problem reoccurs again. I have also tryed the backwards compatibilty wizard and it still has the error.
Please help
For the record I am running Windows XP and disabling or restarting doesn't do anything to help me
Thank you
Osiris [/b]

From what I've heard, when it's white like that it is trying to connect to the RenGuard network. Do you have a firewall running? If you do, is it blocking RenGuard from connecting to the RenGuard network?

Hello
Yes i do have a firewall running. But i know it isn't the problem because reenguard was working then it just stopted and that is with the firewall enabled. And my firewall is not asking me to allow or block internet comunications. It is a software firewall not a hardware.

Those symptoms do suggest a communication problem. Please check the firewall settings again... maybe it was inadvertent.

i'd agree, and say give yer firewall a check. Seems like there's a conflict in there somewhere.

Thanks for the advice but as I have already stated I have disabled my firewall including the one that XP has but the same thing happens.

do you have a router or anything that splits your internet connection so u can have a home network. if u do it might be that lots of those things have built in firewall that u can turn off.
i know i have one and its really anoying. try plugging the wire that goes into your computer directly into your cable/dsl modem. that is assuming u have cable or dsl.
if u have 56k i have no idea what the problem could be

How many times do I need to say this. I have turned my firewall off so all the rules are recinded. This doesn't solve the problem.

I've checked it about 5 times per one instalation - RG has all permisions it may need to connect to internet (I use ZoneAlarm and it has green tick in all boxes for game.exe). But ok, I'll check it again.
But anyway, like osiris said, it does not work even with disabled firewall, so... :-/

Remember that the Game.exe changes after updating the RenGuard. This causes some firewalls to take it off of the safe list. You might need to reconfigure the access settings.
