Help

Since downloading service pack 1 I have experienced webex freezing, even as something as simple as browing using IE on websites.

Help.

Same for me. I run Windows Vista Ultimate with SP1 installed and the WebEx Sessions are getting freezed. Not immediatelly, after while. Will be the new version supporting Vista with SP1 released very soon? Thank you.

What's interesting, that machine seems to be freezed (nothing moving on screen, mouse cursor disappears, no reaction to keyboard or mouse moves), but the sound is working (calling with Nortel SIP client was working normally).

Thank you for telling me you have the same problem, I felt alone. I spoke to Webex support, very supportive, I could even duplicate the problem online with them, they made suggestions to use Firefox, but the problem still exists.
The computer completely freezes and you cannot access task manager to shut down the application, you physically have to power down the computer.
Very ugly when doing a presentation and/or support, the client has to log out and re log back in, makes us and/or the product we are selling look bad.
I hope Webex fixes this glitch soon.

Hello Ian and Richard,

I can only imagine how frustrating this is for both of you.  I see that Ian called the Help Desk and that they instructed you to try Firefox.  Have you called them back and let them know that you are still having the problem?  When we pursued this on our side, they let us know that they needed a considerable amount of information about your actual configuration.  That being said, I will work on determining what WebEx's plans are in this arena.  Sorry for the inconvenience gentlemen. 

Anyone else having the same problems?

Vista issues

Gentlemen, checked with Tech Support again today regarding this problem.  You do need to be on at least WBS25.  Please call Tech Support again at the number listed above.  I am continuing to inquire internally but I am getting that same response again.

Hi Ian and Richard,
For us to dig down and uncover the underlying problem, can you pls. confirm you're on at using WBS25 or 26?

To check what version you're on, follow the steps below to check your WebEx site version:

WBS 26:

Browse to your WebEx web site (ex: http://SITENAME.webex.com).
On the left nav-bar, click Support, User Guides.
On the right you will see an information window titled About Meeting Center.



WBS 25:

Browse to your WebEx web site (ex: http://SITENAME.webex.com).
On the left nav-bar, click Assistance, Support.
Click on Version under About Meeting Center.

A popup window will appear.




If you encounter a popup window with a decimal version and no WBS version listed, you're using WBS 23 or below.

Example:

WBS 23 or below version information page.

One of our users is experiencing freezing problems as well. However, the freezing goes away and the session picks up later on. We are on WBS 26. We have not installed SP1 (unless that happens automatically).

I have the same issue and experienced this today.

I am running Vista Ultimate with SP1 and have WebEx WBS25. When i went into application sharing and shared 2 windows i lost the mouse cursor and then the whole PC locked up and had to be manually powered down.

The meeting had just started and I had to revert to another machine, open up all the necessary applications and stall through the whole process - every embarrassing.

Please advise on the fix and/or corrective action to fix this issue.
