i think it is a problem with sun java's not being fully compatible with yahoo games..you could uninstall sun java, then go to the pogo website and look in their help file (in the faq's) for "how do i get java?"..eventually, you will find a link for downloading "ms virtual machine" from "wild tangent"..if you do install "ms virtual machine" in place of sun java, it is VERY important that you then go to the windows updates website and get the security patch for "ms virtual machine"..here is the link for downloading "ms virtual machine":if you install it, remember, it is very important to immediately go to the windows updates website and get the security patch for "ms virtual machine".. just scan for updates at the windows updates website, and you will have the option to download and install the update for ms virtual machine..i use ms virtual machine..you might have to adjust a setting in "program access", in "add/remove" before the ms virtual machine will work..
