why does my comuter lock up everytime i try to play a game of yahoo spades?

Answer 1

You may not have enough ram memory.

Answer 2

It may have to do with Java. My spades screens used to lock up all the time, particularly when trying to close a window. The only way to get around this is ctrl-alt-delete then "End Process" for iexplore.exe.

Research online showed one way to fix the problem for good is to uninstall Java and use Microsoft Virtual Machine instead. MS used to use this program, which in a way I guess had a license to use Java or something which had that effect. Sun revoked their license, so MS no longer distributes VM, however, you can still download it thru searches online. One site is here: http://java-virtual-machine.net/download.html

This cleared up my problem for good - closing games windows no longer hangs up, and although the screen is a little bit smaller, you get used to it quickly and functions waaaay better.

Hope this helps.
