orbit problems

[angryassdrummer]

i have used orbit for a few years now since it being recommended in this forum.
however since i started using google chrome it no longer works...either in chrome or IE.
I have re installed it making sure chome settings were ticked but it still doesnt work,

correct me if im wrong, but whenever i opened a video steam a download button icon appeared ...but that doesnt happen anymore.

what am i doing wrong?

I used to use orbit too, but I stopped because it wasn't being updated and it stopped working on a lot of sites. You might try StreamTransport which is free and works better but there are still some things it can't get.

StreamTransport hasn't been updated for over a year, it doesn't work on many sites, like Hulu, despite that being its main "feature" according to its website.

Still works for some streams though, so worth a try.

how do i find all the orbit files on my comp? i have uninstalled and googled it....have done everything i can but all new downloads go to a page saying orbit is downloading it ...but there is no orbit on my comp

their FAQ page said got to documents and delete the orbitdownloader folder but there is no folder there
its very frustrating means i cant download anything unless its a torrent....tried updating copytransmanger just then and cannot ggrrrrrr annoying

REinstall Orbit.
Then you should be able to UNinstall it properly.
Hopefully this includes the browser plugins that are giving you problems.

already done this
and re uninstalled it
tried downloading copytrans manager and other free downloads and it goes to the same page
what an absolute pain in the butt

According to http://www.orbitdownloader.com/how-to-uninstall.htm
you delete the orbitdownloader folder from c:\program files\

and the orbit folder from c:\documents and settings\*your_user_name*\application data\ << this is the XP folder name,
probably different in Vista or Win 7

They've got a forum, http://forum.orbitdownloader.com/

Ask there.
