I've been using 4OD for a year with no problems but as i've been having many spyware attacks from IE i've had to set it to a fake proxy (disabling it) and gone through all the settings for making firefox the only browser yet now 4OD won't load. I t tells me i'm not connected to the internet.
Is there some setting i'm missing with the program?

For 4oD to function correctly the system requirements are:

1. Windows XP /Vista. (XP x64 is not supported)
2. A broadband internet connection.
3. Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.
4. Windows Media Player 10 (if it's not already installed on your PC, the installation process will help you get it).
5. Macromedia Flash 9 (this will be installed automatically if it's not already on your computer).
6. Microsoft.net Framework 2.0 (this will be installed automatically if it's not already on your computer).
7. A minimum of 10 MB of free disk space to install 4oD. You will need 70 MB of free disk space if you need to install Windows Media Player, Macromedia Flash Player 9 and .Net Framework 2.0.
8. You must be a resident of the UK or Ireland.
