Here are some things that work,depending on problem.
! If you get blue page Wii games ect, no scroll, nothing working. do this. Right click on explorer properties, clear cookies, temp files. Now reboot. Log on to mail then go to games.

If the game lounges are full they will not let you in under normal log on methods!Here is a 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.


But here is how i set my PC for games and the method I use to get into any game.. While you need java to run yahoo games, It is not needed to open and play them. Java’s new update has glitches like small fonts, the way I found to get around them is go to Tools, open Internet options, advance tab. Scroll down the list and see if you have Microsoft Virtual Machine listed, if so unclick the 2 java’s listed. Make sure JIT is checked, click apply then ok. Close. This lets msn vm launch games. This will SPEED UP game loading time also.if you don’t have msn VM You can download it from here. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/default.mspx

spades is over run with kids running booter programs and hogging tables.too many yahoo and fake agent id bots in rooms and hackers running booter programs.This is causing a big lag problem. Report them!
Yahoo installed a program to try and catch them. The problem is the program has a glitch, if you get booted from games and try to log back in right away, IT WILL BAN YOU FOR NO REASON! So its best to wait about 5 minutes before logging back in. Other tips;Beware of invites, if you get one and want to play, go to the table, do not click accept. Booters commonly send invites then boot you out of lounge! IF a table is empty but has someone watching but not seated, pick another table.Use this link to help with lag.

Last but very important!
.if you turn off pop up blocker it is a mistake, it causes to many problems turned off. it is needed to block unwanted pop ups. When you try getting in lounge or room and it doesn't work. click on pop up blocker on yahoo tool bar.On the drop down list click on Always allow tab it will say recent pop ups blocked. high light yahoo.com then click allow. This is the proper way to use the pop up blocker, and in past 6 months since yahoo’s new format came out, I have never had a problem or had to hold any keys down to get in.
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

Sometimes the easiest way to solve that type of problem is to un-install and re-install Java
