| >B. Most other game sites still use Java. You can

| >C. If the online game still won't load, or gives you
| errors, try these steps:
| >
| >1. Click START / Control Panel / Internet Options and
| click on the Advanced Tab.
| >
| >2. Below HTTP 1.1 is the Sun Java/ Microsoft VM
| section: Make sure all Java choices
| > are unchecked (especially JIT) and then press [OK].
| You may be prompted to reboot.
| >
| >3. If you don't see a Microsoft VM section then download
| Microsoft Virtual Machine for:
| > Windows 98 / Me / NT / XP from:
|
http://www.abxair.com/software/msjavx86.exe
| >
| >4. After you download Java, double-click the file to
| install it, reboot and then follow

| compiler and other advanced options.

| >* Whenever you get a Java Virtual Machine Security Update
| from Windows Update, you

| >6. If the problem persists Adjust Your browser settings
| using this basic example:

| >8. Maybe it's a software conflict: Make certain that
| your Firewall or Antivirus program is
| > not configured to block Java Applets. Norton's
| products for example have that option.
| > If you're unsure temporarily disable Startup
| programs one at a time, starting with Firewall,
| > Antivirus & AdBlockers using:
|
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
| > or this utility:
|
http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php
| >
| >9. If you have a Coffee Cup icon in your system tray
| (next to the time) you might have a
| > conflict between MS VM and Java: Uninstall Java
| using Control Panel / Remove Programs.
| >
| >10. Check the Help / Support section of the game site in
| question for Java topics relevant to
| > that site. There is usually an email or a (non
| Java) help chat available as well.
