Thanks for the link. That fixed my patch problem but I still can't get assist to work. I get all the way through both the assist and uo patch screens and then nothing it just shuts down, but UO opens if I don't try and use assist. Any ideas out there on what might be wrong?
It very well seems to be a firewall issue and this can very on the type of PC setup you have. In some cases you can have 2 or more firewalls up depending on what is installed on your PC.
The most common firewall is Windows firewall, goto start/control panel/ windows firewall and select the exceptions tab and make sure UOA is there and checked. If not you can add it.
Additional firewalls come in various forms such as security bundles such as Nortons and Macafee as an example, not to mention Windows live onecare.
Also another is a pseudo firewall that comes with spybot search and destroy called teatimer. It can cause havoc if you do not know what permissions to set per application. Best thing to do is to disable it from the start up menu and leave spybot S&D intact. Start/Run/msconfig/ select startup tab and uncheck teatimer.
Another is Nvidias chipset firewall
and last but not least is a built in router firewall, but these are not much of an issue I have run accross dealing with uoa,uo,icq etc.
Give us some specs on your PC, such as to your version of windows, xp, vista,etc and any other security software and we can help you trouble shoot it and get you up and running.
