I got the same message on two different Dell Laptops - after spending multiple hours on the phone with tech support (Helpfull and kind tech support i might add) we turned firewall, security essentials and various networking components off and on to no avail. I had a AT&T laptop data card installed in both so uninstalled the driver and application to no avail, then remembered that I had a backup image of my hard drive available (I have a HP MediaSmart Home Server) from before I installed the AT&T card. I restored to the earlier date, updated Chief and was finally able to Raytace in X3.
Hope this info might help

I would highly recommend having at 4 Gbs of system RAM for X3. Just a personal opinion and what I tell others.

Tommy:
I agree 4 GB minimum
CA (and others) have been posting lately that 8 GB would be preferred
until Chief goes 64-bit more than 8 GB probably wouldn't be necessary
all depends on how many other apps are running
or if you are doing heavy duty raytracing (which uses CPU and CPU ram)
