Default Yahoo Screen Freezes


Anyone know what can cause my pc to freeze while playing Yahoo games. I can
be playing any one of the Yahoo games and if I quit one game to go to
another one, the game screen that I went to is frozen. The banner ads still
move though. In order to get out of the frozen screen, I have to cancel the
Internet Explorer version 6 browser and then start it back up. Its doesn't
freeze while I'm playing, but when I go from say Pool to Spades, then the
Spades screen freezes. I have a AMD Athlon XP 1900 with 1.6Ghz and 256 ram
and I am running Windows XP. Did not see this problem with running Windows
98 on my 350 machine. Anybody have any clues? Thanks in advance

Hi Bdowns,

To see if it's a problem with their website or your system, try
playing the games at Zone.com and use the same actions to
see if you can duplicate the same errors, and then post back.
