Hi Wolvie,
Thanks for the information!

I've also found that popcap
who provides most of these Java games to the various game
sites on the Internet sometimes requires MSVM for certain
games in their repertoire to function (load) correctly.
P.S.: Say bonjour to Kitty Pride mon ami. ;-)

| >1. Click START / Control Panel / Internet Options and

| >3. If you don't see a Microsoft VM section then download
| Microsoft Virtual Machine for:

|
http://www.abxair.com/software/msjavx86.exe

| >6. If the problem persists Adjust Your browser:

| >8. If you see a coffee cup icon in your icon tray, or
| have Sun Java listed in Control Panel /

| >
| >9. Maybe it's a software conflict: Make certain that

| products for example have that option.
| > If you're unsure temporarily disable Startup
| programs one at a time, starting with Firewall,
