Re: downloading games
Bonjour Maurice!If Single Player games (ex: www.zone.com/bejeweled.) don't load try these steps:
* Afterwards, all game sites (such as Yahoo) with similar games will work as well.
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/d...frameset.fhtml
6. If the problem persists Adjust Your browser:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbit...rRooms.html#IE
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.
9. 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,
Antivirus & AdBlockers using: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
or this utility: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php

| I am having a terrible time downloading some of our childrens games. We have windows xp and the updated directx 9.0. After putting
the cd in to install, it does everything like its supposed to but when its time to play, it shuts the computer off. The back of the
cases say it is compatible with our system so I dont understand..
Does it restart your computer? If so, please read on. :-)
Your system is most likely restarting as a result of a STOP error.
To stop this behavior go to Control Panel / System / Advanced /
Click the Startup and Recovery Settings button / Uncheck the box
labelled "Automatically restart" under the System Failure section.
To analyse the error, try the steps in: http://aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm
If the error indicates a file name that begins with ati, or nv (nVidia)
the most likely solution would be to install the latest drivers using
the instructions at: http://mvps.org/nibblesnbits/Video.html#drivers

Re: Downloading games
Hi David,It really is freeware according to this site:
http://www.rpgfan.com/reviews/dinksm...allwood-2.html
Therefore, I would test your systems ability to download a game
by downloading one of the Trials from Microsoft.com/games. If
you're successful, then try searching Google.com for another site
that offers that game legitimately for download and contact the
site you're currently trying to download it from to advise them of
that you're unable to download the game from their site directly.

Re: downloading games
You can only resume a download if (1) the site supports resumptions or (2)you're using one of the downloading programs which allow it.

Re: downloading games
Hi artgn,Something you've downloaded in the past may be causing this issue.
Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
install MS AntiSpyware from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to
remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.
