Problem with Snooker + Internet Explorer
Hi,

whenever I want to start a Snooker game (Internet Explorer) this message appears:

Connection refused: 
Server may be down or inaccessible. 
Please try again after a few minutes.

Waiting a few minutes, hours and days didn't help. The problem apeared about a week ago. 
It works quite well on Firefox, but one shot often takes more than a minute, so there are many timeouts and it's impossible to play.

Has anyone an idea?

Thx

No I haven't got an idea, delete history, delete cookies

Only advice I can give

Thx for your answer. I've tried that already, but it doesn't work, problem is still there.
Any other ideas?
The chances are that when it happens your receive a "Critical Error" message of some sort. After you close that message it then kills all your Explorer windows.

There are numerous reasons for this to happen, and certainly far more than would be easy to explain. HOwever, the most common cause is simply that you have lots of little beasties running around in your machine.

You should first clean out all these beasties. I sugges using 
Spybot Search & Destroy
 and 
Lavasoft AdawareSE
 to first find and kill the majority of the beasties. Once they have killed a few off, you should then run whichever anti-virus software you happen to use, making sure you do a Full system scan and not the default scan (which usually only check the processes).

You should also make sure you have all the latest Q patches from the windows update site.

After doping all this, see if the problem still occurs. In most cases it doesn't (unless you are using filesharing programs such as kazaa or bearshare, both of which just happen to spend most of their time happily infecting your files). If the the problem does still occur, then you will have to start looking at the other more complex possibilities.
Thx a lot. 

But I think that won't help. All the newest Windows updates are installed, both, Spybot and AdAware (newest versions), don't find anything. Antivir says: no virus. My computer seems to be pretty clean.

Maybe it's because of my firewall. I'm using Zonelab's ZoneAlarm free. I'm not sure, but the problem might occure since the latest firewall-update. But as I use the free version, I can't open specific ports as described in the FAQ.
But when I turned off ZoneAlarm, it still didn't work...

By the way: Whenever I use Firefox, I got the same problem as described in another topic: After 2-10 minutes, every Firefox-window closes.

Thx for your help, waiting for more suggestions.
Check the ZoneAlarm site. It is widely known to be a nuisance once installed if you havent got it correctly configured.

So the solution would be to completely uninstall my firewall, but I don't want to do that.
I've tried ZoneAlarm Pro (15 days test version) and enabled the port 4989 as the FAQ told, but it didn't solve my problem.
But it still works with Firefox. Slow, but now without closing all browser windows after a few minutes. Is it possible, that the firewall is the problem? Why does it work with Firefos then? Does Zonealarm make a difference between IE and Firefox?
Problem solved!
Thx veriac for your help.
Deinstalling my firewall didn't help, but changing my internet-provider did. I really have no idea why it helped.
