View Full Version : Does Anyone Have Dial-Up, cause it is taking me than 1 hour to load VMK?.... winniesdapooh 11-18-2006, 09:05 PM Is there anything wrong with dial-up. Please Post anything you have in mind......:) PaperClip 11-18-2006, 10:01 PM I had dial up, and it will take you at least 1 hour to load VMK. And that is on a 56kbps connection! That is why VMK reccomends High Badwith, which means Cable or DSL. Alienboy 11-19-2006, 02:48 AM lol dial up...old school but yeah you really need a high bandwith as allowasas said eboy 11-19-2006, 02:53 AM it happen to me this month dont worry it will fixed (believe me i know lol).staff said they are having proublem with enteries so '(host)->she/he<-(i forgot) ask has anyone got it we're having proublem with that' EDIT:i hope this cheer you up :) ~me~ SpinMarty 11-19-2006, 02:56 AM I have dial-up at home. I load the game but once it is loaded I don't shut my computer down (unless I have to) but rather leave it in sleep mode. This keeps the game in the memory so that you do not have to load it again. Hope that helps and I feel your pain. SM winniesdapooh 11-19-2006, 03:57 PM I have dial-up at home.

My grandma and grandpa do and it takes forever for it to load winniesdapooh 11-19-2006, 09:08 PM nvm it is going quicker now, like 10 minutes. it isnt that bad cause i am patient OFF TOPIC: i g2g do homework now so see all u people tomorrow Thark 11-20-2006, 05:11 AM Dial up used not be a problem with vmk back in the day lol. Used to be able to play fireworks better on dial up than dsl about a year ago lol. Never had a problem with it, but there is a good saying: Once you go DSL you can never go back. (to dial up fyi) winniesdapooh 12-12-2006, 08:49 PM omg!:mad: 6 hours to load VMK today! i havent been able to go on it for 6 days! i miss my friends! PaperClip 12-12-2006, 10:07 PM omg!:mad: 6 hours to load VMK today! i havent been able to go on it for 6 days! i miss my friends! I feel your pain. Bug your parents until they get a higher speed internet ;) Maybe even e-mail them links to cheap DSL or Cable internet providers ;) That is what I had to do to my parents to get them on DSL. hehe. JasonDude 12-12-2006, 11:43 PM I have Dial Up, and yeah, it takes about an hour for VMK to load initially, and a minute to three for each room. (Guest room, public room - has to load the background and such). I was hoping to get High Speed this Christmas, but I live out in the country so no dice. FantasyJustin 12-13-2006, 01:00 PM I Have Dsl Its Great With Vmk Dont Worry I Had Dial up And Its Took A Long Time If You Can Get Dsl Its A Great Prise Here Its Ok To Have Dial Up! NenaEeyore 12-13-2006, 02:30 PM I had dial up when vmk was first opening, and it took a while but never an hour,once vmk became big, im sure it took longer but by that time i was on dsl. Feel your pain, i would never have the patience to wait that long for the game to load. winniesdapooh 12-13-2006, 08:57 PM I feel your pain.

I've heard Comcast is good. I also had dial-up-- way before VMK and toontown, but I remember that the games I played before was incredibly slow. ~Chaelle PaperClip 12-14-2006, 01:37 AM Can you switch to DSL?

I thought my internet prices were expensive, then I looked at Comcast. $70 more than what I pay for COX and AT&T both. (I have both). Bluegel88 12-14-2006, 05:11 AM I have dial up and I live in the mountains, I bought a new computer and I have always had a phone line only for my computer and fax only. I am 2 and 1/2 blocks from the phone company they say and from getting DSL. I have wireless on both my computers and everyone around me has DSL, I hate them The thing of it is, is I have no problem with mine, I do a disk clean up 2 or 3 times a week because between this site vmk and my mail and my ebay i really get the cookies and then I do check to see if i need a disk desfragmenter done and if i do then I do it . On the next day it takes me about 1/2 and hour to load up and that's all. I turn my computer off every night because it really rains and even though I have good surgers I don't want to take any chances with lightening up here, What you need to do is talk to your computer tech's and your internet providers and to vmk because sounds like your internet options are not set right or your firewalls are blocking vmk from coming in also, turn off your pop up blockers and if you have norton there is your problem just keep the virus protection and get rid or turn off the other stuff, I just have a program called pc mighty max and it takes real good care of my system and norton virus does the rest. Sorry this was so long but I used to write programs when i worked for AT&T so I know something about computers and their working, but leaving them on all the time is not good for them, especially for a game. Make sure you keep up with your downloads and have any of you tried Firefox that is really a good program and it works good with IE. nite now winniesdapooh 12-14-2006, 04:09 PM I have dial up and I live in the mountains, I bought a new computer and I have always had a phone line only for my computer and fax only.

But thanks I think you have helped a lot (I haven't gone on VMK today not because the internet just cause didnt really feel like it yet).:xmastree: |
