Hi, I'm trying to regain my old @Alleg callsign ("ogo") by registering it in the new ACSS, but am receiving an error message reading: "•This callsign is already registered on ASGS (the old security system). Please use your original password to create this account and claim this callsi...

Muchly intriguing... Do you have some sort of QoS enabled on your router? This might hold up ASGS packets if you are transmitting multimedia at nearly full link capacity.

Do a tracert to 'asgs.alleg.net'. You know what to do with the result

Nice to hear
If you want a replacement AV, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials.

Have fun playing the game. Try reading some of the training material on our Wiki (link at the top-right of the page) - makes learning a lot easier in the beginning

Open regedit (Press Window+R, type 'regedit' without quotation, press Enter) and navigate to this branch: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Games\Allegiance\1.0\ASGS\2.0' using the nav tree on the left. See if y...

Does the Kaspersky suite come with built in firewall component? If so, check if there's an option in it to block something called SSDP or "Smart Service Discovery Protocol" and if there is, make sure it's set to allow traffic using that protocol. Another thing - see if the port range 2300-...

EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION usually means, that there is some corrupt or missing media file, so it's unlikely, that AV did that. The easiest way to fix it is to back up your inputmap1.mdl (key bindings) and reinstall Alleg, see if that helps. McAffee is responsible for failing to connect (also, it's ...
