There can be many reasons for script errors.. the two most probable causes in your case could be\n1. You do not have the JVM (java virutal machine) installed, if you have it then  it might not be enabled \n2. Your anti-virus program has script blocking enabled whihc is preventing the browser from running the script required for accessing the game you want to play... try this solution and let me know if it helped...steps are below:\n\n\n1. Click <Start> button at the bottom left corner of the computer desktop and navigate to <Control Panel>. \n2..In the <Control Panel>, click <Network and Internet Connections> icon and then click on <Internet Options>. \n3..Click on <Delete Cookies> button and click on <OK> button.  \n4..Click on <Delete Files> button. \n5..Check the option <Delete all offline content> and click <OK>.\n6..Select <Security> tab at the top of the Internet Options window.  \n7..In the box at the top of the window, make sure the <Internet> icon is selected. If it is not, click it once to highlight it. \n8..Set the Security to <Medium-low> by dragging the slider downwards (under the <security settings for this zone> section).  If you are unable to see the slider, click on the <Default Level> button, the slider will appear.  Now, drag the slider downwards to <Medium Low>. \n9..Click <OK>. \n10..Now, click on <Advanced> tab and click <Restore Defaults> button\n11..Now, scroll down to <Microsoft VM> section under the <Advanced> tab\n12..Check the options <Java console enabled>, <Java logging enabled> and <JIT Compiler for Virtual Machine enabled> under Microsoft VM.  \n13..Click <OK> to close the <Internet Options> window.\n\nIf you do not have Microsoft VM listed (step 11) then go to www.java.com and install the Java Runtime Envoirnment\n\nIf you have Microsoft VM and are still unable to play, turn off your anti-virus script blocking option and restart your browser and try to play the game again, it should work then

make sure the program is compatible with windows 2000, and try uninstall and reinstalling the program.  If you still get this problem, it is most likely an hardware issue and your computer is not letting the program run.

Do You perhaps mean a Dialog Box (a dialup box would make it a totally different problem)?.\n\nI think you might need to do a repair install of windows XP (if it is windows XP). Other wise you need to analize the startup process of your windows installation. Download highjack this (http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ )and send me the log maybe i can help. or you can post the log to www.iamnotageek.com\n\nThe error message you have give seems somewhat incomplete.

You need to make sure you have JAVA enabled.\n\n\nTo enable your JAVA, you need to go to Tools then Internet Options on your IE Browser menu on top.\nGo to advanced and then scroll down and look for JAVA and check all the boxes. \nThen go to the Security Tab and click on Custom Level and enable Java script.\nIf you need a JAVA runtime program to play games, download it at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp\nRestart browser.\n\nYou have to install runtime java to get applets to work correctly. Another reason why it might freeze is because java applets use a tremendous amount of memory so you might not have much memory. There might be also the case where yahoo games is just not working correctly. you might want to try again a little later.

Check for minimum and recommended system requirements for these games ... hardware as also software ... java issues or active x ... \nfind out if everything's in order

Check your security programs because one of them doesn't allow runing scripts. It could be the firewall...

You have to enable java and active x permissions in tools->internet options. Java is especially unsafe, so I just activate it when i want to play pool or cards.

if it is an installed game try installing it again, and if that doesn't work contact the help people from the game's manufactures.

Yes, thats a firewall issue. You need to turn off norton and its firewall if you want to play on Gamespy. Gamespy is a game client that has all these action interactive games. Its very sensitive to norton's firewall.\n\nIf you are behind a firewall/proxy and are able to change its settings, Arcade needs the following TCP ports open in order to function: \n6667 (IRC) \n3783 (Voice Chat Port) \n27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat) \n28900 (Master Server List Request) \n29900 (GP Connection Manager) \n29901 (GP Search Manager) \n13139 (Custom UDP Pings) \n6515 (Dplay UDP) \n6500 (Query Port) \n\nGo to this website on Gamespy and read about how you can allow those ports to enter your firewall:\n\nhttp://www.gamespyarcade.com/support/firewalls.shtml

First off, open the program that's causing the problem and go to it's preferences and look for the option that says start with windows, or something similar.  This is the best way to do it.\n\nIf that doesnt work, goto the start menu, run, and type msconfig.  On the last tab is startup, uncheck the programs that are giving you the problems.

This issue normally comes up, when your programs are not compatible with the older version of windows files that are already installed.\n\nGet a latest service pack of windows and install it and the error will go away.\n\nFor example: if you are using win 2k, install service pack 4 or if you are using win xp, install xp service pack 2.
