Koosharem 1 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I am running Windows XP SP3 (32bit) and other security-related software which includes: MS Security Essentials, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware Pro, and Mamutu. I launched OA5 today, and the update (to OA5.1 ) started automatically and seemed to go to completion (i.e., the update now shows as having been done today). Three issues. 1). With OA5.1 running, I am unable to access the Internet -- I just get blank pages until I shut OA5.1 down! 2). On the OA Status/Home Page, the version number still shows "5.0" (not 5.1) after re-launching. 3). Also on the Status/Home Page, the "Web Shield" is shown as "Off". Any one have an explanation or suggested "fixes"?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hackerman1 6 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 uninstall OA, download OA 5.1, install OA 5.1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew F. 28 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hello Koosharem, Looks like something went wrong during update. You can try what hackerman1 suggests to do. Please also make sure your security software is excluded from each others' control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew F. 28 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Please take a look at: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/info/oa/Options.html#exclusions I think the other security software you have installed has exclusions as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solved all 3 "Issues" !!! you are welcome, i´m glad i could help you. i have also had problems previously with OA, i "upgraded" to OA 5.1... the solution then was to uninstall OA and do a "normal" fresh install of OA 5.1.
