you must activate Active-X in the browser. click on Tools / Internet Options / Tab Security and click the button Custom Level.\n\nUnder ActiveX controls check the following entries\nDownload signed Active controls: prompt\nDownload unsigned ActiveX controls: disable\nInitialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: disable\nRun ActiveX controls and plug-ins: enable\nScript ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: enable\n\nDownloads\nFile download: enable\nFont download: prompt\n\nSripting:\nActive scripting: enable\nAllow paste operations: enable\nScripting of Java applets: enable\n\ni never had to download Java for playing Yahoo games, all what's needed is already in the OS.

You dont want to turn off your java. It runs a lot of your applications so that you can see text, etc. While shooting pool, java insures that the balls move smoothly across the table without jerking. Smooth Transition is what it's all about. Larry Radioshack 01-9590

Have you look at the java console of the browser?\nMost probably you're running out of memory.\nBesides, it seems you need to learn to use the media tracker, because you need to wait for the images to load before you start playing. Loading the images might take a while, so you need to show a "downloading..." image quickly and wait before showing the game.\nDoes the game works correctly with the appletviewer in Sun's SDK?

You need the java applet to play the game.

Check in Tools/Internet Options/Advanced and scroll down to Java and see if the box is checked.  If not, check it.  Restart computer and try again.  I know that for some websites that you play games on you have to have Macromedia Flash Player and Shockwave.  Both are free downloads at Adobe.com.  You can look in Add/Remove Programs and see if they are installed.  Sometimes if you uninstall and reinstall those two it will help.  Also make sure you have the latest Java update which is also free at Java.com.  Always remember to restart computer after uninstall and reinstalls of any  program. Good Luck!

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

If you need a JAVA runtime program to play games, download it at http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp\nRestart browser.\n\nOnce you get this installed you should be able to run those games without any errors. You just needed the java runtime program to have those games working =)

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

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!

The Yahoo people are aware of this known problem and they are working towards it.  Their help page specifies you to use a Java version till the issue is sorted.\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/aa/mesg/twin/twin-26.html

Download the plugin from http://www.java.sun.com\n\nDownload the latest version (1.5.0_06). 1.4.2_03 is very old.

First of all, I'm figuring you mean 'SpyBot'. I don't see why you used that, you could've just gone to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled the Yahoo! Toolbar.\n\nBut you did, so let's see what happened... I have two ideas, e-mail me back your answers so that I can help you out on this.\n\n1. You say that you cannot play ANY games against live opponents; have you tried single-player games? \n\n2. You need Java to be installed on your computer for Yahoo! Games to function properly. I don't know if or why SpyBot would have gotten rid of that, but check to make sure. If you do NOT have Java Runtime Environment, go to the below link and download it, then try Yahoo! Games again.\n\nhttp://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

First of all, did it install correctly? Is it enabled in your browser? Go to Internet properties in the tools menu and see if it is...if not, delete it, and then re-install it and use the tool that java has that lets you know if Java is installed and working on your computer. Just click the link that says something like "test your java software" .\n\nIts been a while since i've done it, but i had the same problem.\n\nlook for a link on the Java website that lets you email for customer assistance.

Perhaps your security settings are too high ?\n\nCheck in Internet Options, Security .... and maybe in Advanced too.\n\nGood luck - it must be HELL not to be able to access Yahoo Games ! ;-((\n\nBy the way, do u have the MS Java there ?  You can't "get" it any more, but if it's there it should still work.  Might be interesting if IT works 4 u but the Sun one doesn't !?
