Hi Sheldon,
Since the problem with the Internet Games has been tied to server side issues
it's suggested to play at www.zone.com until they are able to resolve the issue.
It's a slight inconvenience but certainly an acceptable workaround.
PS: They have been alerted about this issue. An alert has been sent to them.
You do not need to sign up for a Zone account or Passport to play games
at www.zone.com - You can chose the option to play as a GUEST. :-)
Some of the Internet Game players take their games very seriously. If you're
one of them and prefer to escalate this issue, then email zmaster@microsoft.com
You can also visit the Microsoft Public Zone Newsgroups located at:
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx?NewsGroup=microsoft.public.games.zone
Let's hope this inconvenience is settled quickly. Enjoy zone.com until then. :-)

I would appreciate any | help someone can give me. Thanks. | | Sheldon Wilson |
