Pogo online games

I have the latest version of Java from Sun, going to download Firefox now.
I'am keeping my fingers crossed.

Let us know how it goes. You can get IE7 working with pogo, it's just easier
at this stage to try Firefox. It is a good idea to have a second browser
installed anyway just in case your default gets corrupted (and you can't
download any fixes...)

FYI, I can run Pogo games in Safari Beta 3.0.2 for Windows, so if Firefox
fails, try Safari.

Think this is still a Java problem, if that's the case then any browser you
use has the potential for this failure. EA may have a fix if you check their
support.ea.com site.

Problem is not with EA/Pogo, it's just the way Vista comes preconfigured.
Basically you need the latest Java, and force IE7 to use it.
