| Jimmy S
| thanks for the help, I did the part internet
| Options\advanced tabs and copied all from the settings
| computer but followed your advice and unchecked the JIT
| and installed MS VM since it wasn't there. Funny thing
| is on my Dell 8100, it isn't there either and the JIT is
| checked and that one works. Weird, but this one working
| so far and thanks again

| >>Hi LouA,
| >>
| >>Online games are usually developed using Flash, Java,
| or
| >Virtual Machine.
| >>The most likely solution to a problem with an online
| game
| >is to install, upgrade,
| >>or reinstall the right one for the game site you're

| >>
| >>A. For Zone.com games: Zone.com are converting most of
| >their games for Flash
| >>to avoid the conflicts between the Sun Java system and
| >Microsoft's Virtual Machine.
| >>Install Flash from:

| >>B. Most other game sites still use Java. You can
| >install Java and find more help
| >>tips at this webpage:
| >
http://java.com/en/download/help/pogo.jsp
| >>
| >>C. If the online game still won't load, or gives you
| >errors, 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.
| >>
| >>6. If the problem persists Adjust Your browser
| settings
| >using this basic example:

| >>7. Try these suggestions for Zone's Java Games:

http://classic.zone.msn.com/zzzz/help/helpjavagames.asp
| >>
| >>8. Maybe it's a software conflict: Make certain that
| >your Firewall or Antivirus program is
| >> not configured to block Java Applets. Norton's
| >products for example have that option.
| >> If you're unsure temporarily disable Startup
| >programs one at a time, starting with Firewall,

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796

http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php
| >>
| >>9. If you have a Coffee Cup icon in your system tray
| >(next to the time) you might have a
| >> conflict between MS VM and Java: Uninstall Java
| >using Control Panel / Remove Programs.
| >>
| >>10. Check the Help / Support section of the game site
| in
| >question for Java topics relevant to
| >> that site. There is usually an email or a (non
| >Java) help chat available as well.
