Several items can cause this behavior. If Anzio should try to connect, then flash off, or you get a "runtime" error, or you get passed the login, but Anzio disappears, there are several possibilities:
- The host has a user limit in effect
- The host name or address is wrong
- The port you are trying to connect to at the host is incorrect
- The default file is corrupt
- You have selected the wrong terminal type for your host login or your host application
- A router with port forwarding is limited to a single user and already in use
- The login you used is limited to one connection and is already logged in
For any of these, check to make sure you have set up Anzio correctly for your host connection (correct port, correct host name or IP address, correct terminal type and correct login). If all else fails, you can try clearing out the default file for Anzio and reset the startup settings:
1) Look under the Windows Start menu and All Programs for the Anzio folder. Inside this folder you should see the item "AnzioWin (new connection)" or "Anzio Lite (new connection)". Run the appropriate menu item to start Anzio without a default file.
2) If Anzio was working but is not now, try renaming or deleting the file "anziowin.def" located in the same directory as the executable. By doing this you will have to re-enter all your initial values, but it should clear up the bad record.
3) You can also accomplish the same thing as above by starting AnzioWin or Anzio Lite from the Start:Run dialog by entering:
c:\anzio126\anzio32.exe none or c:\anzio126\anzio32r.exe none
The word "none" will start Anzio without a default file. You can then save the new settings over the top of the old when you exit, thereby replacing the bad default file.
