Error on pulsing and logging in

[AINSPEED]

Hi, I've been having this problem for the past week, I've tried everything, logging as admin, changing compatibility, uninstalling, deleting the APPDATA folder completely, restalling. Nothing seems to work.

I was getting this issue when trying to pulse, now that I've re-installed everything I'm getting it while trying to log in and check for computer names.

The error messages are:

"Unknown server message, please try again later"

"CONNECTION ERROR: System can't find specified file" (Free Translation for native computer language)

Both come at the same time.

I am curious -- I don't know if we support Windows 8 yet or not. If not, this might be part of the problem -- seeking certain resources that aren't there anymore, or something like that?

I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you -- hopefully someone else will be able to chime in with a solution.

The 1.x clients on Windows 8 are highly unstable. I've seen people running it perfectly without any hitches, and people with the weirdest errors. But that goes for a lot of ("oldskool") apps like the 1.* windows client. It seems to be dependant on which edition of Windows 8 you have.

Considering 2.0 is on the verge of a release, the 1.x client won't be updated to properly support Windows 8.
