The server will not be changed to the new version until tommorow morning.  Like me you will have to wait until then to get back on.  See the post in BFM only.

I am not really an expert but it sounds like you would need to have either two different computers logged into the server at one time or at least two different vent accounts logged in at the same time from the same computer.  One account for the music and one account for your voice.  Logging in with different accounts from different computers would work and would probably be the easiest way.  If that is not an option for you then you would have to enable the multi-client feature in vent so that you could log in with two accounts at the same time from the same computer.

What is the point of Vent if you have xfire? I mean you can talk to each other...is it also used in macroing? Because I have never understood how you macro.

Yeah, but I'm still gonna download-once I get a headphone  :cop:

As far as I know x-fire you can only talk to one person at a time.  Vent can be much much more.  And... x-fire stinks for chatting imo  :P :P
Thank you Kàkà§hì!

That way when your granted access you're ready to go.

No, you can do group voice chats with xfire.

Anyway, ventrilo is more effective, as it's ONLY a voice communication system, and xfire has many other benefits OTHER THAN its voice support. (Screenies, game-stats, clan sites, file xfer, ....) It's voice support is pretty clunky compared to TS & ventrilo, too.

Try clicking on the taskbar "icon!"  ::)  :winkgrin:

If that doesn't do it (I'm hoping you've already tried that!  ;D ) then it's probably in The Windows Twilight Zone Of Off-Screen Pixels!!  (Oh NOEZ!!! Say it ain't SO!)

This happens when Windows - for unknown reasons - "leaves" a window at a location OUTSIDE YOUR VISIBLE VIEWING SPACE. (Ya, pretty dumb thing to do, I know.... Psssh! It's WINDOZE!)

It's tricky to do, but here's How To Recover An Off-Screen Window:

RIGHT AFTER YOU START UP VENTRILO....:

Press <ALT>+<SPACEBAR>. This will open the regular Windows menu for "Move the (currently-focussed) window" to another place. (If, when you press <ALT>+<SPACEBAR>, you cannot see the Window, just press the <DOWN ARROW> once and then <ENTER>.) You can now use the arrow keys to move the window to a position where you can see it.

'Hope this does the trick!

How do you change your Status/Pheonetic when you have already logged on and you don't want to log off to change it?
