If you have windows Xp  theres a pop up stopper built in and you could turn it off or allow you to go to any yahoo games-- other then that idk\n\nTo get to yhe pop up stopper  click on tools  and then there is a place right there that says pop-up stopper- drag your mouse to the right and then click on turn on pop-up stopper

It's not YOUR problem, Wiz.  Yahoo is definitely having problems at THEIR end.\nSee link below for more detail (and/or do a SEARCH here on Answers for simply "backgammon" - THAT'll sure show u r not the only one who can't use it!)

check the settings you may still be blocked-un-check the box and you should be your way.  \n\nAnother way is to delete it and then re-install it.  \n\nBe very careful in chat rooms.  They have been proved dangerous to your health

Hi,\n\nI know the exact problem you're having.\nI bet 99.9% you have a Norton program installed on your pc eithe norton antivirus,systemworks etc.\nNorton blocks that feature of messenger, what I do when I want to play those games, I just disable norton for a few min or hours and when i'm done playing i'll just enable it back.\nWhen disabling norton, you might need to sign out and sign back in to see the games on messenger ;)

Probably because you're behind a firewall.  If you are using a software-based firewall, you might need to quit using it temporarily but be aware your PC is exposed while it is down.  Or if you are using a hardware-based firewall, you might be able to accomplish the same thing by adjusting the DMZ settings to allow your machine unprotected access outside the firewall in the DMZ.  Or on whichever version, you might just have to open up specific ports to allow the game you're trying to play to have access to your machine.  Check any help files that might exist for that game or try Googling for the word FIREWALL and the name of the game and the name of the game-service company that hosts the game.

First, a firewall problem could do this.\n\nSecond, too many windows open ... regardless of the RAM on your machine, Pool won't play if you have lots of other windows open.\n\nThird, reboot your machine, get connected, don't open anything else and then start Pool.  It should work.

First of all, I'm figuring you mean 'SpyBot'. I don't see why you used that, you could've just gone to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled the Yahoo! Toolbar.\n\nBut you did, so let's see what happened... I have two ideas, e-mail me back your answers so that I can help you out on this.\n\n1. You say that you cannot play ANY games against live opponents; have you tried single-player games? \n\n2. You need Java to be installed on your computer for Yahoo! Games to function properly. I don't know if or why SpyBot would have gotten rid of that, but check to make sure. If you do NOT have Java Runtime Environment, go to the below link and download it, then try Yahoo! Games again.\n\nhttp://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

where did you get this game from?  if you got it from a store I would try returning it.  I would also try emailing the manufacturer with a copy of the error message and ask them what it means.  You might be able to do that just in yahoo alone.  Good luck

Make sure you aren't running any programs to help you cheat in games. Yahoo will disable your account if they catch you, and your text won't show up in the lounge.
