hello, i recently reinstalled my computer. I have not been able to join a spades game since then...I never ha

Question

had any problem before the upgrade.... Help?

Answer 1

I just tryed everything was fine.But here is how i set my PC for games and the method I use to get into any game..If you change over your setting to these it solves 95% of all game problems caused by java conflicts with yahoo games!
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 virtual machine 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

Answer 2

When yahoo updates you must update as well

there are 2 choices of Java you can use.......Sun Java and Virtual Machine....
and yes the Virtual Machine works better for games and you do need Java to play in games, ( without it you won't stay in games)

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

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
