Question

Does yahoo poker or games at all work with vista here?

Answer 1

I do not have Vista, but yes people who do have it, play on yahoo.There are settings and programs needed,some of which you will need to down load. I will list what i have found thats works on most systems.  yahoo games run on java,

update java

Yahoo games open with a pop up. Most toolbars like yahoo and internet explorer have pop up blockers! When you try getting in lounge or room and it doesn't work. click on pop up blocker on yahoo tool bar. On the drop down list click on Always allow tab it will say recent pop ups blocked. high light yahoo.com then click allow.

. IE browser settings to allow pop ups Right click on Tools, internet options, privacy tab, cookie over ride. Type in Yahoo.com, allow then ok. This is the proper way to use the pop up blocker. I have never had a problem or had to hold any keys down to get in.

If you are using norton antivirus you may need to turn it off until you are in room.

Yahoo games use virtual memory to play. Running low or out of virtual memory causes game to freeze. Increasing your virtual memory helps with the freezing/getting booted problem. You can increase your memory by going to start button, settings, control panel, system, advance tab, performance, advance tab, virtual memory, change it, make it 1500 kb or higher, In both boxes, click apply then ok .If it’s not listed as Kb,” Some are not.” Just double the number listed. (Needed for games like Chess or any long games)

Some games may require Adobe flash player 9 to work downloads are easy to find..

Sun Java causes problems at times with yahoo games so i changed my settings and so far everything works great. Some thing to keep in mind but not needed just to get into games.

Here is how I set my PC for games and get into any game..If you change over your setting to these it solves 95% of all game problems caused by java conflicts with yahoo games!

Small fonts is a Sun Java glitch.

You need java for games,but not to open them,if you have microsoft Virtual Machine. go to start button,settings,, control panel open internet options advance tab,scroll down to see if microsoft vm is there if so unclick the sun java listed. Make sure msn VM and JIT are checked, click apply then ok. close.this lets msn vm launch games. this will SPEED UP game loading time.if you don’t have msn VM, Some XPs  do not! Just go here and download it.

I run XP and it should work for  vista.    This will SPEED UP game loading time also.
