Minion is unable to connect to the internet

[Son_Raizen]

I last tried Minion when it was version 1.3
I have the same exact issue as last time. I start Minion, it says it can't connect, I click okay, Minion closes.
I've tried both 32 and 64 bit versions. I currently have the 32 bit version installed. I have no active antivirus and my firewall is disabled.

I have seen the post about changing my browser's proxy settings, which I did, but that didn't work. I also remember seeing a post months ago about issues with Bigfoot Networks killer wireless-n 1103 so maybe it's just impossible for me to use with this network adapter.

Any ideas on how I could get Minion past the EULA??
