HELP Downloading games from Yahoo or MSN

Every time I download Bookworm Delux or other games
similar to that from Yahoo or MSN they won't play in Full
Screen Mode. or work at all . I have a Medion P4 using
NVidia on WinXP I don't know why it isn't working, or
even why I can't end program when it doesn't work when I
right click on the game apl. on the task bar. This is
quite frustrating help!!!

Hi Trinity,

Those games were not made to be played in full screen however...
If Single Player games (ex: www.zone.com/bejeweled.) don't load try these steps:

1. Click START / Control Panel / Internet Options and click on the Advanced Tab.

2. Below HTTP 1.1 is the Sun Java/ Microsoft VM section: Make sure all Java choices
are unchecked (especially JIT) and then press [OK]. You may be prompted to reboot.

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:
http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/.../frameset.fhtml

6. If the problem persists Adjust Your browser:

7. Try these suggestions for Zone's Java Games: http://zone.msn.com/zzzz/help/helpjavagames.asp

8. If you see a coffee cup icon in your icon tray, or have Sun Java listed in Control Panel /
Add-Remove programs uninstall or disable it to prevent conflicts with Microsoft's Java VM.

9. Maybe it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup programs one at a time, starting
with Firewall, Antivirus & AdBlockers using: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
or this utility: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php
