Game download/install

Post by Nicky10101 »

Click the play button for autohaven file and open it with java web launcher and.... nothing happens....

Just recently installed Java from Sun's website. Still using Xp. When the file launches I get an hourglass for a few seconds but no more. Check in the task manager javaws.exe is running though taking up no CPU and little memory like its sitting on its hands. Currently my internet connection is not impressive by any standards (as in borrowing a free wifi signal). I was at least hoping to be able to install the game here even if I had to wait a little bit to play regularly but I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong.

I'm sure the answer is rather simple and has probably already been answered (in my defense I did spend a good amount of my internet time searching the forums' posts). I've played this game before and just feel the extreme desire to pick it up again now that I have some form of internet again. Please help I miss my little hearthling. :cry:

your problem isnt installation, its that the game isnt working. you can download the client (which from the sound of it you have) I may have misunderstood the question, because of the thread name.

I think you may have misunderstood :) I do not have the game installed yet. I had it installed on another computer but had to leave it in another state when I moved. This is my laptop which has never had H&H. I downloaded the client and when I try to open it to install nothing happens.
