- Hi again ive tried that and the smae old message keeps here it is:

RuneScape was unable to connect to the update server. This is most likely caused by a firewall blocking the connection.
To resolve this:
If you have firewall or security software installed please ensure RuneScape/Java is allowed to open outgoing network connections on port 43594.
Note Windows XP Service Pack 2 has built in firewall software. If when loading RuneScape this asks if you want to allow the connection, you need to say 'yes'.
If that doesn't help then an external firewall may be causing the problem. Please ask your network adminstrator/ISP to open port 43594 for TCP traffic.
If problems persist then please refer to the technical FAQs which can be found in the Customer Support section of our website.

I dont understand it.
