Q. the second i log into yahoo games, the main page stops responding and freezes my computer. not game specific because i don't get that far. this is the only site that does this. any ideas?
Well, first of all thank you for all of your input. I have tried all those things. It's not a pop up issue. The very second I get to the games home page from the main yahoo pages it says not responding at the top of the page and it freezes. I am able to go in through yahoo messenger and play all the games now, just not through the main games home page. It does work on another computer, just not the one I usually use. It stopped working 2 days ago. Frustrating beyond belief!! I just don't understand what the issue is. At least I'm able to get in through yahoo messenger....

A. Lets start with this, games use java to run.
update java
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual...
Now do this;
Yahoo games open with a pop up. Turning them off like Yahoo mistakenly says doesn't work very well! Most toolbars like yahoo and Internet explorer have pop up blockers! When you try getting in lounge or room and it doesn't work. click on pop up blocker on yahoo tool bar. On the drop down list click on Always allow tab it will say recent pop ups blocked. high light Yahoo.com then click allow. On google blocker click on blocker and it will allow site.
. IE browser settings to allow pop ups Right click on Tools, internet options, privacy tab, cookie over ride. Type in www.Yahoo.com, allow then ok. If you see a blue gear with tools beside it, Click on it and a drop down list will have pop up blocker listed.Type in www.yahoo.com, click allow.
This is the proper way to use the pop up blocker. I have never had a problem or had to hold any keys down to get in.
Next to keep in in games longer;
The most common reason for your problem is an easy fix!
Yahoo games use virtual memory to play. Running low or out of virtual memory causes game to freeze. Increasing your virtual memory helps with the freezing/getting booted problem. You can increase your memory by going to start button, settings, control panel, system, advance tab, performance, advance tab, virtual memory, change it, make it 1200 kb or higher, In both boxes, click apply then ok .
Internet explorer works best with yahoo games. If you are trying to use Foxfire make sure Sun java is checked as default java as it will not work with msn virtual machine java
Go to tools, internet options,advance tab. Scroll down to Sun java check it and java scrolling and JIT.
If you get an error saying you need flashplayer go here and download flash #9

Why does my computer freeze every time I visit Yahoo Games "Pool"?
Q. Could I be getting a computer virus from the game site?
I thought all Yahoo company sites were safe. Are they?
It's a Gateway laptop and fairly new. I've only had it for two months. I don't think it's the computer, but then again I'm no expert.
It lets me play for a little while and then BAM I cant do anything?

A. Since you say, "It lets me play for a little while and then BAM I cant do anything?", and first you said that it freezes, and Yahoo! Games Pool 2 requires real-time information to be downloaded during the game, the most likely explanation to that freezing of your Yahoo! Games Pool 2 window is that the window is freezing because the window is waiting for more information to be downloaded. That information is required to be downloaded because that information is necessary for the game to have complete information about the real-time status of the game.
So the most probable explanation to the cause of that problem is that the real-time information is not being downloaded fast enough so that you don't have to wait. That is probably that way because there is a temporarily slow Internet connection between the Yahoo! Games computers and your computer, or because your Internet connection is always slow.
In other words, what you probably need is a faster Internet connection or, if your connection is already fast enough, you need to play the game at a time of the day when the connection is faster.
What is the bandwidth of your Internet connection anyway? You didn't specify that. It would be very useful to know that in order to know if that is really the problem.
If your Internet connection is not the cause, then another probable cause is that the Java applet that runs the Yahoo! Games Pool 2 game is processing the real-time information of the game at a slow speed.
One cause for that could be that there is not much free RAM (random-access memory) in your computer. Your computer needs lots of free RAM in order to process the game's information fast enough so the game doesn't freeze while you're playing. So one solution could be to free up RAM by closing all other computer programs that might be open. When you have too many computer programs running at the same time together with Yahoo! Games Pool 2, the game could freeze because of that. Do you have other programs open while you're playing the game? You didn't specify that either.
Now, another possible cause is that your computer itself doesn't have enough RAM. However, that is highly unlikely since you said that your computer is fairly new and that it is a Gateway notebook. On the Gateway Web site at http://gateway.com you can see that new Gateway notebooks usually have at least 512 megabytes of RAM, which is one half of a gigabyte. That is probably more than enough to run a simple Java game like Yahoo! Games Pool 2, provided you don't have other programs running simultaneously.
Please take a look at the following recommendations from Yahoo! Games Help.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/games/general/system/games-29.html
Take a look especially at the four recommendations at the bottom of the page. The four recommendation are that you don't have other programs running, that you improve the Java applet's performance by closing other programs even if the Java applet is already running, that you don't maximize the game window, and that you turn the game's sound option off.
