why can't I get into Yahoo spades anymore?

Question

I get to the screen where it says wait 3 minutes for applet to load- click here if applet fails to load. and all I get is a red X

Answer 1

these 2 things get me in;
Its a java glitch I just tried and got right in,and this will work with all games!
JAVA has a small font glitch.Plus many other problems. If java is launching your games The coffee cup logo while loading. Go to start button, settings, go to control panel open internet options. advance tab,scroll down and see if msn VM is listed,if so, unclick the 2 java listed. Make sure JIT is checked, click apply then ok. This lets micro soft virtual machine launch games. this will SPEED UP game loading time. i play games about every night with no problems using these settings. If you don’t have msn VM, get it here http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/default.mspx

Do you keep returning to yahoo game page? Log on to mail 1st then go to games or use this great shortcut as is to get in any game/lounge.
I think it's got to do with people hogging all the tables in lounges to keep others from playing ,if lounge is full it will not let you in using normal log in methods. here is the fix for that.
Here is an easy fast way into games. And it by-passes log in problems. Go to http://www.shove-it.com find game select lounge page you want to play. Click on file, send, desk-top short cut. Or add to your favorites. This gives you a straight link to shove it. Now click on a lounge, it will take you to yahoo games log in page. Log in, then minimize log in window while its loading. Now click the lounge link again and open the log in window back up. Your in. nice thing is you can get in any lounge or game that’s full or not. Good luck with your games.

if you still can not get in and are using XP service pack 1 or older windows, do this. Some times the game demo is stale/no longer works, after yahoo upgrades.
Click on my PC disk drive c,open windows folder,open downloaded programs file, high light yahoo game you want to play but can’t,delete it. it will give you a demo to download when you go back to game.

Answer 2

That little red "X" denotes you have a Java issue

If it was originally a Yahoo problem it is not now as i can logg into any lounge, but then i use Virtual Machine
When Yahoo updates sometimes it can leave you behind

When yahoo updates you must update as well

Update.......Make sure you pop up blocker is off (top of your browser in tools)and once in the lounge click "options" bottom left of lounge and choose the small tables option...... -- If you cant log into chat/games it is because Yahoo's browser has issues with SUN java as default, the coffee cup sux... The Virtual Machine Java works better with yahoo. Yahoo is Java dependant.
This is also the reason for the games applets not loading and some web cam issues. The easiest fix is to update , make sure all your windows are updated

and choose what is your best option.

N.B. It is unwise to use Sun Java and Virtual machine together, this may cause conflicts

and clean up after yourself> http://www.freecreed.com/speed.html

read on if you still cannot get in

Right click your explorer icon on your desktop......click properties..then the general tab (top left)..in the temporary internet files section (middle), choose view objects...see all Yahoo downloaded programme files?
if any are damaged, right click them and delete them..they reload each time you logg into games..right click Yahoo spades and choose update, or bite the bullit and delete it.......it reloads each time you logg in

Answer 3

I have found the solution. You need to go to freecreed.com/pm and follow the instructions there. It will help you with Java and if that doesn't work then it will help with Microsoft VM. Save the site cause you will need to reboot a couple of times. Once you are done it will tell you how to go into your control panel and set your default to the VM(virtual machine). If you use a backdoor to get into spades rooms you must go to yahoo games the first time so that you can reload spades. After you do that you can then use your backdoor again.

Answer 4

http://freecreed.com/pm -- go there and follow the directions on the site. It works...I hadnt been able to play spades in a week and I was getting the red x problem also...it works.
