Running Vista, have tried to run as admin.

Everythng was fine yesterday...I run the daoc portal and a error telling me:

Update Check Failed

System.FormatExeception: Imput String was not in the correct format

then this error mes pops up.

FATAL : Unhandled Exception:

I've tried everything I know of. Not sure why this is happening all of a sudden.

Any help would be great. Thank you

This error comes from daocportal?

Can you skip the update process?

When I tried logging in without updating I didn't get the first error message but I still got the second...

The second error messge is the long one I cut and pasted.

Thank you

I had same problem yesterday (i am running at win xp pro) with portal ver 2.4. I uninstalled it and downloaded and installed newer one (2.6) and problem is solved.

Worked like a charm. Thanks a bunch
