WHY will the yahoo games not load on a brand new Dell computer?
454579
Most Dell computers come basically stripped of many drivers you will need to surf the net efficiently you may need to install java on your new Dell... they give you a good bargain on the computer components but they lack many items when it comes to the operating system :D I have had 3 Dell computers and have had to install java on all machines... go to http://java.sun.com/  and download their java and install it, its one of the fastest as far as java goes and you should be able to load the yahoo games and play them :D ;) another way is to go to the www.Dell.com  website and download missing drivers as you need them it took me a solid week to install all the drivers i needed.  Hope this helps!

That has nothing to do with Yahoo. Open your control panel and click on the mouse icon, then click on the "pointer" tab. There are also many on line places (some free ware) that you can down load from the net.

Well, if you want a cheap computer, theres no way its going to "best".  If you mean game as in "Oblivion", then the cheapest computer definitely won't work.  You'll need to spend a couple thousand to get a great computer.  But if you mean game as in, "Yahoo games" then a cheap computer should work fine.  \n\nIf you have DSL, then the computer won't really matter.  Searching the web will be fast even if you have a Pentium 2.  So basically, if it has ethernet or phone jack, you'll be able to go online.  \n\nMy parents bought a computer from wallmart for $600.  Its an HP.  But, the cheaper you can get a computer, the cheaper it will be.  If you get a computuer from Wal-mart for $600 that has 512mb ram, 160gig hard drive, pentium 3.2...etc...you'll regret it.    But, if you buy a cheap computer thats older, like pentium 3 or so,  like, pentium 1.6, 512mb ram, 80gig hard drive, youll actually run about the same as the HP.  Trust me, personal experience with both.  \n\nThe problem with cheap computers is they put so much stuff in it, that the computer that is 3.2 runs like a 2.0.  That is not good.  Hp and Compaq, both the same company, put alot of unwanted programs and software in.  I ran a spyware/adware/virus scan right after I turned it on, and installed them.  The computer had never been on the internet, and nothing but the programs had been installed.  It came up with 40+ spyware/adware...cant remember the exact number but it was over 40.  When I deleted them, almost none of the games worked, the screensaver didn't work, and a couple other minor things.  When I went online, the firewall blocked 153 things right off the bat, and 12 programs wanted to access the internet.  Stuff that shouldn't access...even stuff that was deleted somehow still wanted access.  And about 50% of them wanted to act as servers.  So basically, they sell you a cheap computer, with cheap parts, then they either sell your information or give you lots of ads.  Maybe both.  \n\nPersonally, if I were you, id use the computer you have now, and save until you get enough for a better one.  Maybe buy one from online.  LIke, www.xoticpc.com , or maybe Ebay, but I wouldn't trust ebay unless it was a company you were buying from.    But, all I can say is, if you want a good computer for cheap, you will not only get a cheap computer, but it won't be very good.

Try closing your browser and then reloading. Still not working? Reboot the machine. Still not working? try another machine.\n\nMy Yahoo is still working fine, you probably have a Java Error or loggin issue that is stopping the loading of the page.

If you are having problems with Yahoo! Games, there are a few things to consider and check:\n\n1.) ONLY use Internet Explorer for this site, as Yahoo! Games is optimized for it and supports only IE. Even if you can get into the games rooms with another browser, use IE for the best performance.\n\n2.) make sure you have the current version of Java. Go to www.java.com to download it.\n\n3.) Make sure you have your current windows updates to make sure everything is up-to-date and working. \n\nAfter that everything should be working.  But the main reason for people not been able to get into Yahoo! Games is because they are not using Internet Explorer or have not updated the java component.

its not possible because such msgr versions are no longer supported by yahoo. you try changing your msgr settings, it will work. or try removing firewall at your network if there is any.

Check the System Requirements on the side of the box, or website you downloaded the game from. If you computer meets all requirements, the game itself probably has a bug in it.

you must activate Active-X in the browser. click on Tools / Internet Options / Tab Security and click the button Custom Level.\n\nUnder ActiveX controls check the following entries\nDownload signed Active controls: prompt\nDownload unsigned ActiveX controls: disable\nInitialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: disable\nRun ActiveX controls and plug-ins: enable\nScript ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: enable\n\nDownloads\nFile download: enable\nFont download: prompt\n\nSripting:\nActive scripting: enable\nAllow paste operations: enable\nScripting of Java applets: enable\n\ni never had to download Java for playing Yahoo games, all what's needed is already in the OS.

Check your system settings.  Also, there's trouble shooting, both on the game website as well as over the phone with one of the store clerks.

You should be running Java 1.5 (check in add remove programs).\n\nLocate the Downloaded Program Files in the Windows directory and remove/uninstall all the Yahoo Controls (plus any other weird ones!!). \n\nWhen you go back to Yahoo games a new Active X control will install. That should sort the problem.

If you don't have Java installed on your PC you can go to the creators of Java technology's web site and download & install the necessary Java components to your computer to run the Yahoo! games.\n\nThe link to the Java download page is:\nhttp://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
