Suddenly stopped working.

[georgesampson]

I've been using Picaloader for over a year, and it's been working great. Suddenly, it doesn't seem to work. I have even tried projects that I have downloaded successfully in the past.

The message I get is:

Project Completed:

0 web page(s) were read and 0 pictures were saved to disk.
1 errors occurred, you can switch to Report pane for detail.


The report pane is empty. What happened?

I have made no changes to my system since the last use of Picaloader, and I have already installed the latest version.

Any help would be appreciated

I've searched the forums but can't find any solution for this issue - I'm trying to download from webshots but keep getting the same error as above or one saying that it's searched a certain number of sites and has saved no pics - every now and then it works but mostly it doesn't.

I'm using the latest version.

Help!

It's ok - I solved it

Hi, could someone actually say how to fix this problem as it's just started happening to me too - I'm new to this and can't see any "replies"....

Thanks.

OK - have got it working on my own. Closed down firefox and opened explorer instead - now picaloader works. Must be some firefox conflict.

Please vowsoft support firefox.

Bit more info. When I closed down firefox and opened explorer for the first time in months, zonealarm required me to authenticate explorer (I reinstalled zonealarm ~a month ago). I guess that picaloader is somehow using explorer to access the web - someone at vowsoft should be able to confirm this. So it looks like my firewall may be guilty. What I don't understand is that I closed zonealarm down when I was trying to get picaloader working (prior to opening explorer). This though didn't help - I still got the same error report. Anyway, works now....hope this is of some help.
