It looks like you don't have Java installed. Try to install it. get it at www.java.com

Hi Friend,\n\nit is strange that you can't play any yahoo game in the site. to play yahoo games you need to install a component from popcap games. They are the providers of most of the games in yahoo and msn. To play their game they will ask you to install an activex component. You can install this component when you click on play( game name). It checks for the component in your computer. if it is found then you can play immediately. Other wise it will ask you to install that by showing a window for install.\n\nInstall it. then it will allow you to enter

2 options.\n\n1. configure your firewall to permit yahoo messenger to go online. \n\n2. click on 'connection preferences' on yahoo and then select the option that says 'Firewall with no proxies'. \n\nHope that helps.\n\nFirewall is your problem.

you have the high security settings or maybe your firewall is preventing you from doing it. also you ,may be also you have disabled cookies or have added yahoo.com in the restricted sites zone . also check if a spyware or virus has intruded ur system.

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.

i have that same problem when i try to enter yahoo games.  it might be related to java or you may need to clear your temporary files.  see if you can contact yahoo! customer support.  they're available 24/7.

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

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!)

Please specify what error message you are facing?  Are you able to surf the Internet otherwise?  \n\nCheck whether you don't have the firewall blocking Yahoo.  To connect to Yahoo without the proxies or firewalls, go to Messenger>Preferences>Connection and selct the option with No Proxies.  I hope that helps.  If it doesn't uninstall the software complete and download and install it from messenger.yahoo.com

all internet activities are allocated a port (like a frequency) and both sides must be open to that port to work the game looks on that port only and if your firewall blocks it then you cant communicate with  other gamers.\n\nthast entirely the point of a firewall - only allowing the communications channels or ports through that the company knows will be business use and safe!!
