The exact requirments needed for runescape? My runescape window has not worked since July 5th. I have uninstalled/reinstalled java, downloaded all updates for window, uninstalled/reinstalled IE, tryed playing under different applets, tryed firefox, ran Spybot search and destroy, deleted cookies, cleared temporary files, lower my custom level....and done everything on the Runescape Technical Support list to try to get my game to work and it still wont work. I just dont understand how I was enjoying the game up until July 4th. i have no idea what the hell could have happened, can anyone out there please, please, please help me? Just imagine this happened to you and you couldnt play, please, I beg of all of you out there in tip.it with your Knowledge please one of you must be able to help me....God I sound so desperate, and im not....Im just frustrated because how the hell does a game just stop working from one day to another?

 

 

 

 

 

Ive managed though, playing Counterstrike....but that can only last for so long....

 

 

 

*sigh* I know this may not even be the forum for it, but I needed all eyes to view this.....so that perhaps maybe someone can truly, finally help.

:? Um how old is your pc?

 

 

 

I have a 6 year old one that still plays...its slow but plays.

well goto tech and computers forum, we have 500+ members, one of them are bound to see it and the requirments are usually in one of the Runescape mainpage links. OR your computer might not have enough RAM to support runescape, try low detail first then high. if all else fails try the local (ish) gaming/internet cafe'.

I got Windows 2000, DSL, latest JAVA download, 458,288 kb of Ram...i just dont understand how it has stopped working just like that, out of nowhere.

i dunno, maybe send a message to jagex asking...honestly i'm not very good with comps, i think theres a forum on runescape forums for technical difficulties :-k

458,288 kb (458 Mb) of RAM doesnt sound like the req for high detail. i think you should try low detail first unless you have, if so like the tree said to the lumberjack "im stumped" :?

You mean try the different options to play? Already tryed all combinations on RS. All I get is a grey box....

i have about 285 Mb of RAM and high detail works for me, i doubt that's it. can you not access the page or the game? if it's the game, change the applet at the detail window. bel;ow the ad you can change the applet.

I would just recommend going to the RSOF's Tech Support section and posting a thread. Try and put as much information into your post as possible.

 

 

 

It could possibly be the cause of a corrupt recent update?

I would try older versions of java, maybe the newer versions arent compatible with your computer. If you need help finding old versions, pm me

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

you said a grey box? what firewall or antivirus software do you use, and what browser? I think I know what it might be. Its not hardware though, if you can play counterstrike, runescape will run just fine.

you can run rs on a pentium 2 200mhz with 64mb or so ram just fine, you dont even need close to a new pc, even an ancient pc can run it. :roll: cs is much more demanding then rs... well any 3d-game which isnt an internet download made after 1995 is basically. for rs the 450mb or w/e is way more than enough.

 

 

 

anyway id try firefox browser, and if that doesnt work if you know how id try reformatting the hard drive. internet explorer is crap. once i had this problem before and idk how i fixed it.

I sometimes have a problem with it stoping at the message "loading updated data" or something like that and i just clear all the private files in firefox

 

(tools>clear private data)

 

 

 

Then i restart firefox and choose the other detail setting and then when that setting has run for a bit i press back on firefox and go to my detail level i like.

 

 

 

Most of the time that works for me but you said that you already tried to remove your catch, cookies, etc

 

 

 

[EDIT]

 

I run on 530MHz, 4mb graphics card set (they are almost 11 years old), 256mb ram, 54mb /s wireless card, 80gb hard drive, And the the computer is 7 years old. It works a bit laggy because of the chip set but other then that it runs well.

Create a new folder, "rscache" in the root of C:\, and tell us if that works.

 

.

Can one of you PM with instructions on how to do everything youve just said....im not to computer literate, need someone with patience and a step by step how to do guide....That and Ive got a head ache so im going to bed. 4:00am....

I think I need help with scripting. While I was on myspace...(omg yes myspace) I would go to like a friends page and click like page 2 of something and on the lower right it would say something like javasript:_doBostback('ctl00$Main$PagedComments....etc.....

 

 

 

 

 

I downloaded java again but it still not working....so does anyone know anything about scripting or can anyone help me out?

Please Help.

Format the hard drive and re-install Windows. That usually fixes any problems that I can't for the life of me work out how to fix
