I did these things and no more problems!
I KNOW THIS IS LONG........but please read it all.
Yahoo has a new format. Here are several things you should know and do:
Yahoo has Spam Tracker Robots, and now 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. and terminate your account I WAS BARRED TWICE
If you have a pop-up blocker click on it, Click on always allow and type http://games.yahoo.com or try to get in first and when you hear your pop-up
(or not) click one the drop-down list on your blocker and then click on always allow and then click on games.yahoo.com.
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)
http://java.sun.com/ .........To install the latest version
You may need to analyze for defragmenting. 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)on your browser or on internet options and restart your browser
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: http://amishdonkey.com
Selecting small table before you enter a room makes more room for dialog on table.
Selecting small table after you enter does too, and also stops the ads, however; you only see the top half your cards.
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. Which is what I do.
If you continue to have problems, double-check your computer's compatibility with Yahoo! Games.
If your home page isn't yahoo or you don't have a yahoo toodbar:
If you can’t get lounge page to open do this! Click on My PC ,disk drive C, open windows folder,next open Downloaded programs file. Left click on the game you want to play to highlight it and then delete it. Go back to game and it will prompt you to download a demo, do it and the page will open for you. To bypass the Yahoo home page,(your old download is stale with Yahoo's new format)log on to Yahoo mail or Yahoo messenger, if you have it, and then go to games.
I hope this helps you out. It did the trick for me. It also increased my speed.

No it is not you or your PC. Sometimes there are problems with the games server. Rest assured, they are working on it.
