i am on a new computer and I am trying to play games and it won't let me in any rooms. what do i do?

Answer 1

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.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..this also gets rid of the ads

Answer 2

I KNOW THIS IS LONG........but plaese read it all.
Yahoo has a new format. Here are several things you should know and do:

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 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

If you have a pop-up blocker click on it, Click on always allow and type http://games.yahoo.com

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.

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 WAS BARRED TWICE

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.
