more then likely the game server is down. you might try restarting your computer, and if that doesnt work then again they are prob pulling maintenance on it

You should be running Java 1.5 (check in add remove programs).\n\nLocate the Downloaded Program Files in the Windows directory and remove/uninstall all the Yahoo Controls (plus any other weird ones!!). \n\nWhen you go back to Yahoo games a new Active X control will install. That should sort the problem.

Depends on the browser you are using. Without knowing, I'd say refresh the page and look for an update for the browser. Maybe even try updating your java and flash plug-ins while you're at it. It's also hard to give an answer without knowing which Yahoo page you are talking about (as you are obviously able to get to this one).

Well possibly because it's an old computer or Yahoo! is just having troubles these days. It's best you wait for a couple of minutes before trying again. Try also another computer. If that computer doesn't do the same it's obvious it's your computer...but if you try and it does the same, something is wrong with Yahoo!.

Yahoo is experiencing difficulty.   Everyone is having the same problem.  Just wait it out or go to yahoo "help" and let them know.\n\nHope that helps.

Please specify what error message you are facing?  Are you able to surf the Internet otherwise?  \n\nCheck whether you don't have the firewall blocking Yahoo.  To connect to Yahoo without the proxies or firewalls, go to Messenger>Preferences>Connection and selct the option with No Proxies.  I hope that helps.  If it doesn't uninstall the software complete and download and install it from messenger.yahoo.com

i have that same problem when i try to enter yahoo games.  it might be related to java or you may need to clear your temporary files.  see if you can contact yahoo! customer support.  they're available 24/7.

The error you received is typically caused by unusual activity from either your computer or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to Yahoo!. While this type of problem is usually temporary, if you continue to experience this error, we recommend that you try the following suggestions:\n\n1) Contact your ISP and let them know you are experiencing connectivity problems with Yahoo!. You may have difficulty accessing Yahoo! if we detect unusual network traffic coming from your ISP. Only your ISP will be able to address and resolve this abnormal activity.\n\n2) Check that you are not using any third party software program or application to access Yahoo! services. Please keep in mind that these types of programs are not supported by Yahoo! and may violate our Terms of Service, and therefore may contribute to your receiving this error.\n\n3) If you have not scanned your computer for spyware and viruses, please do so now. Some spyware programs and computer viruses will run separate programs on your computer for a variety of purposes, sometimes slowing your computer down in the process, and even preventing you from accessing certain Internet sites such as Yahoo!.\n\nFor detailed information on virus protection, please visit:\n\nhttp://security.yahoo.com/malw...\n\nFor detailed information on spyware, please visit:\n\nhttp://security.yahoo.com/spyw...\n\n4) You may want to try accessing Yahoo! through a different computer or through a different Internet connection.

you have to be careful when you play/download on-line games...they will damage your computer...if you have recently downloaded game....un-install it and check.

I have a similar problem with the UK My Yahoo. Everything is 3 months out of date. I now force it to go to my.yahoo.com and it all works fine.
