Why aren't they showing up...?

Wed Nov 10, 2004 6:42 pm

Every time I click on a game, it either loads and the screen of the game goes black, or it goes black automatically. I've updated my Flash Player to the newest version and still the problem is continuing. I've given twenty minutes to each of the games I've tried so far and the screens are still black. What could be wrong? :(

I'm getting that a lot with games at the moment too :/ In Firefox AND in IE (I usually switch to IE if firefox is being weird, but it isnt helping this time :P)

Some one told me that if you right click on the game screen and select forward, that can help.... not 100% sure on that though, but worth a try! :D

You may have a pop=-up blocker or disenabler on your computer... not sure, but that's what it sounds like. 0_o

How would that make things stop working correctly? I'd had Spyware and the computer company my family took our computer to had put two new things on our computer called "Spybot Search" and "Ad-Aware SE Personal" to help things along. I'm not sure if those are the kind of things that you're talking about, but even so, those things had gotten put on our computer two months ago and the games were working fine up until now.

The HatIC plot isn't showing up, either... :(

Spybot and Adaware shouldn't be doing that, as I have both of them and I can see the plots and play games well. Do you have the latest version of flash?

I've had that problem for about a month now. Submitting a bug report has proven useless. My suggestion is to refresh by way of the f5 key the game window if it doesn't load right each time. The only way I've been able to play games.laglaglag laglaglag PPT is moving like a slorg!

Yep, I downloaded it right after I got the usual message asking if I'd like to update my version. I find it strange that my problems occurred/are occurring AFTER I downloaded. :o

Thank you for the suggestion; I'll try that out right now. *crosses fingers*
