Please ensure that you have the correct server name, and
server port number for your connection settings. Also
please make sure that you have an active internet
connection and your server is currently available.
This might also be caused by the High Speed Auto-Detection
feature. MegaBoost Web Accelerator will not connect to the
server once an active high speed connection, such as DSL
or cable modem, is detected.
If you see a crossed sign as shown below...
Please make sure that you have entered the correct
username and password in the MegaBoost Web Accelerator
connection settings. If the problem persists, please
contact your ISP for further assistance.
Why can't I right-click on an image to access the "Show
Original Image" option?
The "Show Original Image" or "Show All Original Image"
option are available only if you browse with the following
Web browsers:
Internet Explorer 5.0 and later
Firefox 1.0 and later
Mozilla 1.7.3 and later
Netscape 7.2 and later
Some Web sites disable the ability to right-click using
Javascript. On other sites, the image in question may be a
background image. To view the original quality image under
these conditions, change the Image Setting to "Original"
and press Ctrl-Refresh in Internet Explorer. Please note
that MegaBoost must be started before Internet Explorer is
launched in order to have "Show Original Image" as a menu
option. Back to
Top Why can't I load/open some specific Websites when the
Accelerator is enabled?
The Websites may be blocked by the Popup-blocker component
of MegaBoost Web Accelerator. Please disable the "Block
Floating Flash-ads" option in the Popup-blocker settings.
If the problem persists, please add the Website to the
"Popup-blocker White list".
Why is Netscape/Mozilla not working with MegaBoost Web
Accelerator?
MegaBoost Web Accelerator works with Netscape 7.0 and
later. The primary reason why the Netscape/Mozilla
browsers are not working with MegaBoost Web Accelerator is
that the proxy setting is not updated properly. Please
make sure that the Netscape/Mozilla browsers, including
the quick launch located in the system tray, are launched
after MegaBoost Web Accelerator is enabled.
Please do not attempt to stop/disable MegaBoost Web
Accelerator while you're browsing. Always leave it on for
the entire time you're browsing. If MegaBoost Web
Accelerator is working properly, the MegaBoost icon (in
the system tray) should be flashing/changing colour when
you visit any Web site. If the problem persists, please
contact your ISP for further assistance.
Netscape/Mozilla might not function properly if there are
multiple versions of Netscape/Mozilla installed on the
same computer. To solve this problem, please uninstall any
old version(s) of Netscape/ Mozilla and reinstall
MegaBoost Web Accelerator.

Why do some Java-applets (such as
certain games on web sites) not work?
Older versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
cannot display certain image types (such as PNG). To fix
this problem, simply change your Image Setting to the
maximum quality level or upgrade to the newest JRE. Back to
Top When MegaBoost Web Accelerator starts, a dialog appears
warning that another application is using port 25, port
110, port 143, or FTP port.
By default, MegaBoost Web Accelerator listens to
127.0.0.1:25 and 127.0.0.1:110 in order to accelerate SMTP
and POP3 traffic. This warning shows that another
application on the computer is listening to either one of
these ports, which causes a conflict.
However, the Web acceleration will still work properly. If
you would like to have email acceleration, you need to
disable the application that is listening to the specified
port(s).
Please contact your ISP for proper instruction regarding
this matter.

computer?
