Hi,

I've had this problem for a few days now, un/reinstalled MSN Zone, deleted the MSN Gaming Zone folder, purged the IE cache, etc. but the room is still desperately void and empty.

Is this related to Flash 8 ? Any1 else experiencing this ?

TIA,
RVG

I play a couple of board games, especially Reversi and some Chess. Neither room shows tables: they're plain black.
I'm currently trying to remove everything from my hd following the Zone faq.




I would remove the Zone ActiveX, plus any damaged components from Internet Properties, General tab, TIF Settings, View Objects. Then clear the cache, then reenter the Zone for fresh copies.


Done.

Your security settings, spyware software, or maybe your firewall might be preventing the display of the rooms too. 



I've no router and just the XP sp2 fw.

 See these helpful pages for more suggestions:

Trying.


Doesn't work.

There are many suggestions on the EnterRooms.html page. Did you look through them? The Flashing Rooms error wouldn't apply in your case; it wouldn't explain the missing tables.

I looked at the links to the beginniers' Reversi room and the Beginner's Room 1 (Chess).

javascript:RaiseLobby_V2('zrvse_ot_x10','game=<reversi>dll=<reversi.dll>datafile=<reversires.dll>logo=<zonelogo.dll>','207.46.203.24:28889','Beginner\'s Room','REVERSI',true,true,0,'E93B5D9F-46DD-11d3-8B98-00C04F8EF2FF','Reversi')

javascript:RaiseLobby_V2('zkqrp_ot_x10','game=<chess>dll=<chess.dll>datafile=<chessres.dll>logo=<zonelogo.dll>','207.46.203.22:28910','Beginner\'s Room1','CHESS',true,true,0,'E93B5D9F-46DD-11d3-8B98-00C04F8EF2FF','Chess')

They show that zonelogo.dll is loaded in both games.

The \Common folder, or the \ZSetup folder can also have a damaged or missing, common file, responsible for a variety of lobbies and their graphics. These files are suspect:

\ZSetup: Cardboard.zat, Core.zat

\Common: zroom2.dll, zroom4.dll, zlights.dll, zonelogo.dll

You might try deleting these specifically, and reentering the Zone for fresh copies.
