'no internet connection. in order to use the programme, you need the internet access. check your connection and try again' That's the pop-up notification I am getting on my wife's laptop - with flash plugins, java etc installed and absolutely no protection layer. It uses Flipviewer. I have also installed the multibook for Biology classes on my Vaio - same error. I have PrivateFirewall. I have a hunch my IE settings are blocking it. I might be wrong. Could you assist me, please.
