Failed to Connect message appears with a blue screen

For more information about Kid Innovation, Inc. or the Razzul product view the Kid Innovation website.

 

SYMPTOMS

When a child account is selected from the Windows Welcome Screen, it does not log in to Razzul and a blue window with a failed to connect message appears.

 

CAUSE

Under certain circumstances a Windows account that was created during a Razzul install could become inoperative due to other software being installed via the Administrator (or Parent) account. In this instance it may become necessary to re-connect the account to the network. This can also be caused by the presence of Zone Alarm, Norton Firewall or other firewall software being installed and new updates being downloaded.
