I'm always getting an error when trying to play backgammon. Need help.

Question

The error says that either something is wrong with my firewall or that I'm not logged into the internet or that I have a stale page in my Cache.

the most common reason yahoo games do not load is pop up blockers!

Yahoo games open with a pop up. Turning them off like Yahoo says doesn't work very well! 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. On google blocker click on blocker and it will allow site.

. IE browser settings to allow pop ups Right click on Tools, internet options, privacy tab, cookie over ride. Type in www.Yahoo.com, allow then ok. If you see a blue gear with tools beside it, Click on it and a drop down list will have pop up blocker listed.Type in www.yahoo.com, click allow.

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.

Sometimes game demo's go stale/outdated.Do this to get a new demo.

Go to tools on your tool bar, then select Internet options, browser history, settings button, view objects. Select the game  and then delete it.

OR

Go to start,my PC, click on C-drive, open the windows folder, open the downloaded programs folder.your games are listed there. delete the backgammon  file.

To clear stale cache pages go to tools/internet options,,delete all browser history.
