The 2 main things to fix lagging problems are; Increasing your memory.helps with the FREEZING UP problem.You can increase your memory by..going to start button,settings, control panel,system, advance tab,performance,advance tab,virtual memory,change,make it 526kb or higher,click apply then ok.If it's not listed in KB,just double the number it says. Next
Keeping PC defragged, and running CCleaner (free from filehippo.com ) this utility really works fast i use it all day long.defragging every 4 hours works great also,really helps with speed.if done this often it takes about 2 minutes.if you have neglected doing it. It will take awhile the 1st time.

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.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/...
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 KNOW THIS IS LONG........but please read it all.
Yahoo has a new format. Here are several things you should know and do:
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 on the drop-down list on your blocker and then click on always allow and then click on games.yahoo.com.
Shove-it backdoor is is working again (for me).
Amish Donkey.com backdoor: http://amishdonkey.com
Selecting small table before you enter a room makes more room for dialog on table. Resize (pull down) your screen after you get to a 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.
You cannot chat in yahoo anymore except on table and in lobby.
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 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
If you continue to have problems, double-check your computer's compatibility with Yahoo! Games.
I hope this helps you out. It did the trick for me. It also increased my speed.

That's just the internet. Fast sometimes, slow others, Please dont tell me you have dial up! That would be your problem right there.
Hope this helps!
