closing a java window?

Question

Everytime I play a game of pinochle on yahoo I can not get the game room window closed. It simply will not close. I have to minimize it and than restart my computer. I have played the game on other computers and this isn't a problem. It just seems to be with my computer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

set up your PC using these settings,i have used this method for 5 months and it works great.
Java’s new update has glitches like small fonts,the way I found to get around them is go to start button,settings, control panel open Internet options advance tab,see if you have Microsoft VM listed if so unclick the 2 java listed.make sure JIT is checked, click apply then OK close.this lets msn vm launch games. this will SPEED UP game loading time.if you don’t have msn VM download it from here. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/default.mspx 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 big ads.

Hi, Sorry you are having problems. I just finished installing Internet Esplorer 7 provided by and otimized for Yahoo!. The icon should be on your Yahoo browser by the Search Web address bar. Yahoo also has another Home Page too. You might check it out. It is the last entry on the dropdown list under the big red Y! next to the pencil on your browser. I think this will take care of everything for you but , if not.......:

I had the same problem but 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 Robots trackers, 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. 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 dropdown 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 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 is working again! yea!!!

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.
