Hello to all!

To give a bit of background - I first started playing UO back in 2000, how times have changed! I've been out of the game now for about 3 years, but have decided to give it a go again. I was formerly known as Romie on Europa.

The thing is, I'm having major issues getting UO to connect currently. Im using a laptop with windows vista, which I understand has issues with UO, so to speak.

The solutions I've tried have been as follows:

Run client in XP compatability
Run client as administrator
Update windows as much as possible
Run spyware removal etc

But STILL I have not found an answer. When I run UO, it doesn't connect at all and I get an 'error reading socket information' message, or something similar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I apologise if this has previously been discussed. Also apologies if this is in the wrong forum, but I didn't see a techy sort of forum.

Thanks and hi!
