While playing cards recently my screen goes blank and I cant get back in the game so I lose what reason?

Ive played for years and this just recently started happening, and Ive lost several games now because I cant get back in the room. It starts out with my mouse not being able to click on a card, and then the room just dissapears. do you have any suggestions?

try doing this,increasing you memory.helps with the FREEZING UP problem.you can increase your memory by..going to start button,settings, control panel,system, advance tab,performance,advance tab,virtual memory,change,make it 526kb or higher,click apply then ok. yahoo now uses popups to enter rooms,DO NOT turn off popup blocker,click on always allow.add games.yahoo.com to list.


The 1st thing you do when you enter lounge is check play small window in option box.Once in you can expand room to see the chat area.you only see half the cards but you can still play.One other thing that might be the problem;


This works with windows XP and may work with older windows. Yahoo has updated the site! If you can’t get lounge page to open do this! Click on My PC ,disk drive C, open windows folder,next open Downloaded programs file. click game you want to play to high lite it.delete it.Now go back to game,it will prompt you to download a demo,do so and page will open! Your old download is stale since yahoo's new up grades.
Reply:Have you tried connecting to the card room from a different computer to eliminate that your computer or ISP is the problem? Did the cardroom update their software recently and thus now is conflicting with your operating system? Are you running a wireless connection and losing connectivity?





I start with what I listed above, then start looking for other reasons. I'd bet most likely it is the cardroom's software that is the problem.
Reply:Hi, Sorry you are having problems. I just finished installing Internet Esplorer 7 provided by and otimized for Yahoo!. The icon should be on your Yahoo browser by the Search Web address bar.

Yahoo also has another Home Page too. You might check it out. It is the last entry on the dropdown list under the big red Y! next to the pencil on your browser. I think this will take care of everything for you but , if not......

Then on finish. Wait until you see it on browser and then go to your favorite game and click on the button arrow and click on: Use current URL





You may need to analyze for defragmenting. Increase your memory if you keep losing your connection while playing. (under tools tab click on internet options, then settings, then advanced, needs to be 526 or higher.)

KNOW THIS IS LONG........but please read it all.


Yahoo has a new format. Here are several things you should know and do:





If you have a pop-up blocker click on it, Click on always allow and type http://games.yahoo.com or try to get in first and when you hear your pop-up


(or not) click on the drop-down list on your blocker and then click on always allow and then click on games.yahoo.com.





Shove-it backdoor isn't working right now either so use Amish Donkey.com backdoor: http://amishdonkey.com





Selecting small table before you enter a room makes more room for dialog on table.


Selecting small table after you enter does too, and also stops the ads, however; you only see the top half your cards.


Or you can just change your screen resolution by going to properties on your desktop, then settings and slide just a tiny bit from 800x600 to 1024x768 and switch it back when you finish playing. Which is what I do.





You cannot chat in yahoo anymore except on table and in lobby.





Yahoo has Spam Tracker Robots, and now if you move around too much, get booted from tables too much or get invited too much, it will mistake you for spam and bar you from games for 24, 48 and 72 hrs. and terminate your account I WAS BARRED TWICE





If the problems you're experiencing with Yahoo! Games include:


getting a blank screen


nothing occurring when you try to join a table


any similar problem


Make sure that the "Enable Java" box is checked.(under tools on browser choose internet options then advanced)


http://java.sun.com/ .........To install the latest version





You may also want to clear your cache(history)on your browser or on internet options and restart your browser





If you continue to have problems, double-check your computer's compatibility with Yahoo! Games.





I hope this helps you out. It did the trick for me. It also increased my speed.
Reply:Either you have a bad connection through your ISP or they are having problems with their servers. You could email them the problem and just keep trying. I am sure that you are not the only one with the problem.
