Piece of Cake do-it-yourself patch:

Find your hosts file. On windows 9x it is usually c:\windows\hosts and on windows nt and windows 2000 it is usually c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (location may vary but you can use "search/find files/folders" on the start button to find the file 'hosts' with no extension).

Once you locate the file, open in Notepad & add the line below (all on one line by itself):

255.255.255.255 www.xolox.nl

and save changes.

Then, close Notepad, exit, and restart xolox. This change keeps windows from being able to find www.xolox.nl, allowing the software to work fully and normally. No need to uninstall/reinstall.

Have done this and it works perfectly.
