SP2 and zone.com

[BillieMick]

This is probably silly to most of you, but after installing SP2 I am unable
to play the free Zuma or any other games. Works fine until I actually click
play the game and then it turns off the page completely and sends and error
message to windows. Anyone else having this problem?

Hello Billie,

Windows XP SP2 has increased Browser Security in the Internet Zone and you
may be running into a Security Setting issue. A game site is going to need
to be able to run scripts or even activex controls and thus needs a lower
security setting. You can choose which sites can run scripts and such. You
can *.zone.com to your "Trusted Sites" zone to enable this site to work just
like before.

Internet Explorer / Tools / Internet Options / Security / Trusted Sites
Click Sites and type in *.zone.com
Uncheck "Requre Server Verification"
