I have a new computer and I cannot open up the canasta card games?

Answer 1

do these things;
When you try getting in lounge or room and it doesn't work.click on pop up blocker. always allow tab it will say recent pop ups blocked.high light yahoo.com then click allow.This is the proper way to use the pop up blocker,and in past 3 months i have never had a problem or had to hold any keys down to get in! NEXT Do this to get in rooms! 1st thing you do when you get in lounge is check small windows in options box.once in room make sure you expand it to see chat area.you only see half of cards but you can still play.This also gets rid of the ads

Answer 2

Everyone is haveing this problem. Try these things. I did them all and my pc is a lot faster too!


Yahoo has a new format. Here are several things you should know and do:

Selecting small table before you enter a room makes more room for dialog on table. Or you can just change your screen resolution by going to properties on your desktop, then settings and slide just a tiny bit from 800x600 to 1024x768 and switch it back when you finish playing.

If the problems you're experiencing with Yahoo! Games include:

getting a blank screen
nothing occurring when you try to join a table
any similar problem

Make sure that the "Enable Java" box is checked.(under tools on browser choose internet options then advanced)
Internet Explorer 5 for Macintosh OS X
Select "Preferences" from the "Explorer" menu.
Select "Java" from the left navigation bar.
Place a check-mark next to "Enable Java."

http://java.sun.com/ .........To install latest version

You need analyze for defragment. And increase your memory if you keep losing your connection while playing. (under tools tab click on internet options, then settings, then advanced, needs to be 526 or higher.)

You may also want to clear your cache (history) or browser or on internet options and restart your browser.

If you have a pop-up blocker click on it, Click on always allow and add https://www.yahoo.games .



You cannot chat in yahoo anymore except on table and in lobby.

Shove-it backdoor isn't working right now either so use Amish Donkey.com backdoor

If you continue to have problems, double-check your computer's compatibility with Yahoo! Games.

Yahoo has a spam chip now so if you move around too much, get booted from tables too much or get invited too much, it will mistake you for spam and bar you from games for 24, 48 and 72 hrs.

I hope this helps you out.

Answer 3

The game might be corrupted in some way. I would try re-installing windows. That would most likely solve the problem.
