Topic: FS Launcher Won't Update/Launch

I am running this on an Acer made computer. Don't ask what model, I don't know. I've got Norton Anti-virus and Windows Vista.

Anyway, I try to run the FS Launcher and it brings up the launcher screen. The first message I get is "failed to retrieve news from server". Then I get "cannot connect to mirrors server, must be running offline." I click on "Don't Update" and it says "Launching without checking for updates....FAILED TO LAUNCH"

Whats wrong?

Try running as administrator.  Sounds like something is blocking it

Hey I thought of it... you just told me to try it.  Now for all the tech threads I can spam " Run as Administrator and delete your cache in..."
