Q: I'm using Windows 7, and when I try to launch Flash games, I get the following error message:

Flashpoint Proxy: Connection could not be established with the remote host.

A: There is a known bug in Flashpoint 8.0 Ultimate that prevents Flash, PopCap Plugin, and some 3DVIA games from working in Windows 7.

A patch is available to correct this problem. To apply the patch, follow these steps:

1. Download the patch from here: https://bluemaxima.org/flashpoint/Flashpoint_Proxy_Patch.zip
2. Open the downloaded folder. Inside of it, you will see another folder called FPSoftware.
3. Click on this FPSoftware folder from the download to highlight it, then press Ctrl + C. This will copy the folder.
4. Navigate into your Flashpoint folder. You'll know you're in the right place because there will be four folders called Data, FPSoftware, Launcher, and Server.
5. Once you're in the right place, press Ctrl + V. This will paste the folder.
6. If asked to overwrite any files, click Yes.

You may now Start Flashpoint and the issues should be resolved.
