During installation, a dialog
appears warning that email acceleration is disabled because another LSP
was detected. How do I resolve this problem? This dialog is a warning stating that e-mail acceleration
is not possible on this computer due to a software conflict. LSPs (Layered
Service Providers) are additions to the TCP/IP protocol on your
computer normally installed secretly when shareware software or
file-sharing software is used. For information on how to remove LSPs
click here. If you would like to
have e-mail acceleration, the other LSPs must be removed followed by with a
re-installation of the Accelerator. top
I get an error message stating that "The accelerator service does not allow connections from your current IP"
This message indicates that you are not using the Tiscali to access the Internet or that you have installed accelerator
while using Tiscali Broadband. Tiscali does not recommend the use of Tiscali accelerator with Broadband as it will not be able
to boost speeds significantly and may actually reduce speeds due to the technologies used.

Why am I not able to connect to
the remote service?
Please ensure that you have the correct username,
password, server name and server port number. (e.g. user@tiscali.co.uk).

Why can't I right-click on an

Some web sites disable the right-click using Javascript.
On other sites, the image in question may be a background image. To see
the full quality image, change the Image
Setting to "Full Quality" and press Ctrl-Refresh in Internet
Explorer. Please note that Internet Explorer must be launched after
tiscali.accelerator is launched in order to have "Show Original Image" as a menu
option. 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 the Accelerator. Please disable “Block Floating Flash-ads”
option in the Popup-blocker settings.
If problem persists, please add the website to the “Popup-blocker White list”. top
Why is Netscape/Mozilla not
working with the Accelerator?
The primary reason for Netscape/Mozilla browsers not
working with the tiscali.accelerator, is that the proxy setting
is not updated properly. Please make sure that Netscape/Mozilla
browsers, including quick launch located in the system tray, only
launch after
the tiscali.accelerator is enabled.
Please do not attempt to stop/disable
it while you're browsing. Leave it on always for the entire time while
you're browsing. If the Accelerator is working properly, when you go to
any websites, the accelerator icon (in the system tray) should be
flashing/changing colour. If the problem persists please
contact us for
further assistance.
Also 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 tiscali.accelerator.
An alternative solution is to configure the proxy settings
manually.
Please open the "Preferences" window in your
browser and set the HTTP Proxy as "localhost:5400" (shown below).
Please note if you take this step, you must remove these proxy settings
if you wish to browse without tiscali.accelerator.
Why is Opera not working with
the
Accelerator?

Please open the "Preferences" window in Opera, go to Network and then
click on Proxy Servers. Set the HTTP Proxy as
"127.0.0.1:5400" (shown below). Please note if you take this step, you
must remove these proxy settings if you wish to browse without
tiscali.accelerator

When the Accelerator starts, a
dialog appears warning that another application is using port 25 or
port 110. Why is this the case?
By default, the Accelerator listens on 127.0.0.1:25 and
127.0.0.1:110, receiving redirected traffic. This warning shows that
some other application on the computer is listening on either one of
these ports. If
you would like to have e-mail acceleration, you need to disable the
application that’s listening on the specified port(s). top
