Not able to play games online.

Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs

Help! I did something (no idea what) but now I can't play the games on games.com. It says I need the Java Plugin, but when I try to download I get a message that it is already installed & when I say re - install it says that it cannot. I tried with Java 6 (which is stalled, but still get the same message you need Java to play games) & Java 7, which will not be installed at all. I'm not, of course, in computer science, only friendly, kind of response must be listed on a type 'how to the difficulty for Dummies' response! I thank in advance for any help, you can provide for this fix.

Hello Nancy,

Glad to know that you were able to resolve the issue and thank you for sharing information in the Microsoft Community. If you have problems with Windows in the future, please post in the Microsoft Community. We would be happy to help you.

  • After playing games online, I closed the window and sees a piece of the game into my office window. It looks like a virus. What should I do?

    After playing games online, I closed the safari window but I can barely see the walkthrough of word written in my office. I changed my desktop to a solid color, so I can see it better. I also see the Netflix pause button and if I reduce the window as I type right now I see Select a community to Post To my office. Is this a virus? If yes what should I do to fix it?

    Hello joebat,

    It seems that some of your plugins (Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102) might be buggy or obsolete. To check for updates, please visit the plugincheck page. If this does not resolve the problem, try to start Firefox with the disabled modules and see if it helps at all. If so, delete the Shockwave Flash plugin and maybe reinstall or uninstall Firefox and do a new clean install.
    If that is not yet solved the problem, try the following troubleshooting steps: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html

    Thank you for your patience and please let me know how it goes.
