AOL Games

I have a hp media center pc 854n -- when I go to AOL
games, the screens are blank after loading. Any ideas?

You forgot one!

| Hi Carla,

| 3. If you don't see a Microsoft VM section then download Microsoft Virtual Machine for:
| Windows 98 / Me / NT / XP from: http://www.abxair.com/software/msjavx86.exe
|
| 4. After you download Java, double-click the file to install it, reboot and then follow
| the directions in Steps 1. and 2..to disable JIT compiler and other advanced options.
|
| * Whenever you get a Java Virtual Machine Security Update from Windows Update, you
| will have to follow Steps 1. and 2..to disable JIT compiler and other adv. options again.
|
| 5. Some games require Shockwave Flash which you can download from:
