Re: Downloading Pogo Games

Sounds like you need to contact Pogo support, if you're a signed-up member.
Their support system should be able to assist you.

Hi JImmy,

That site works fine, except for the fact i am not a member, lol, but no
problems loading it with graphics etc. I subscribe to Pogo and pay a
yearly
fee so would really like to access it, all other sites, banking, browing
etc
are all fine, just this one. This i can see is going to be a tricky one. I
tested on a laptop that i have which also runs XP pro SP2 and i have the
same
problem on that one, but since both machines came with XP SP2 pre
installed i
dont suppose there is much i can do. ANy further advise muchly
appreciated.

Hi Mummybear,

Interesting.. are you able to access other internet sites from that
machine?
How about: http://games.yahoo.com or http://zone.msn.com ?

|||||| Hi Carolina Girl,
||||||
|||||| Online games are usually developed using Flash, Java, or Virtual
Machine.
|||||| The most likely solution to a problem with an online game is to
install, upgrade,
|||||| or reinstall the right one for the game site you're playing on.
||||||
|||||| A. For Zone.com games: Zone.com are converting most of their
games for Flash
|||||| to avoid the conflicts between the Sun Java system and Microsoft's
Virtual Machine.
|||||| Install Flash from:
http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/frameset.fhtml
||||||
|||||| B. Most other game sites still use Java. You can install Java
and find more help
|||||| tips at this webpage: http://java.com/en/download/help/pogo.jsp
||||||
|||||| C. If the online game still won't load, or gives you errors, try
these steps:
||||||
|||||| 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.
||||||
|||||| 6. If the problem persists Adjust Your browser settings using
this basic example:
|||||| http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbits/EnterRooms.html#IE
||||||
|||||| 7. Try these suggestions for Zone's Java Games:
|||||| http://classic.zone.msn.com/zzzz/help/helpjavagames.asp
||||||
|||||| 8. 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.
|||||| Regardless, temporarily disable Startup programs one at a
time, starting with Firewall,
|||||| Antivirus, AdBlockers, & Internet Accelerators using the
method in this article:
|||||| http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
|||||| or this utility: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php
||||||
|||||| 9. If you have a Coffee Cup icon in your system tray (next to the
time) you might have a
|||||| conflict between MS VM and Java: Uninstall Java using
Control Panel / Remove Programs.
||||||
|||||| 10. Run a MS AntiSpyware Scan: www.microsoft.com/spyware
||||||
|||||| 11. Check the Help / Support section of the game site in question
for Java topics relevant to
|||||| that site. There is usually an email or a (non Java) help
chat available as well. :-)
