Uninstall your Java and reboot your computer. Start Messenger and/or games tot check if working.\nDownload new Java from (link below) and do clean install. Everything should keep working properly.

I only have one suggestion, which may be useful, I hope,  I was having much wierdness with both games, and some links and attachments to emails.  I removed and reloaded Java, and all is now well!

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.

You may need Java.  Download a Java update.

Hello,\n\nTo fix the problem use Microsoft's Java VM (which is faster then Sun's anyway). To enable Microsoft's VM do the following.\n\nClick Start > Set Program Access and Defaults \n\nClick the Custom Bullet > Scroll down until you see "Choose a default java machine for java" and select Microsoft Virtual Machine. \n\nClick Ok.\n\nThat's it, you'll now be able to play Yahoo! games again. \n\nThanks,\n\nV

Try the older version of yahoo messenger (7.0) which works better\nhttp://www.oldapps.com/yahoo_messenger.htm\nUninstall your current version first.

Many computers seem to be having this same problem.  I would recommend updating your Java.  Your computer may also have a virus which is slowing down the rest of the system and making it hard to keep up with the game!\n\nHope this Helps!

go to www.java.com, install the latest version of java. It is free. It will help all of the pogo games run smoother.

If you have already installed Java, you may need to uninstall and re-install it.\n\nOtherwise, download the latest Java from http://www.java.sun.com

JAVA might not be installed. You need to have JAVA to play almost any yahoo game.

let's just say that the software is not compatible or was not built for XP. For the fact that the game was released last 1997. Try an emulator or something so that you can still play the game.

Try downloading the latest java uipdate (VJM I think - Virtual Java Machine).

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.
