My girlfriend has WinXP Home Edition and is trying to get Yahoo Games to run. But in true WinXP fashion (mine, although Professional, does the same), brings up a window to d\l Java. She d\l java which we are pretty sure it was the right one from java.sun.com. Only problem is that when she tries to play in Yahoo games it freezes without fail. Because it happens all the time she thinks it might be something dodgy with the website, the d\l itself, maybe a virus related to it? We've ran out of ideas as to what it could be preventing it from working. Cheers.
