  • How do I stop my security settings from blocking my applets?

    When I try to play Literati on Yahoo, I receive a pop up that says my security settings have blocked an untrusted application. If I click on error details, I see that it is talking about the java content, which makes sense since I also can't remote access my work computer which also uses a java console. I have done all the standard moves like allowing it in my pop-up blocker settings and even doing a recovery from a past date where I didn't have these issues. This might be related; for some time now, I would receive a pop-up regarding the content not being trusted but since it was yahoo and I've played this for years I always chose to click on trust it anyways. I think I read when it first started coming up, that it said in the future it would be blocking the content, but I ignored it since I just kept getting the box that allowed me to continue.

    Could this be from a windows security update that is causing my computer to not allow this type of window? If so how do I isolate the update so I can delete it? I just automatically allow all updates since they are from Windows. I know I can read about what the updates are for before I download but now that they are here, I can't seem to find out what each one is for. If nothing else I have to be able to access my work computer from home.

    Can someone help?

  • Does anyone know what is wrong when yahoo game rooms come up as half pages?

    The pop-up game rooms for Literati are displaying as only half a page on Chrome and Firefox. On Explorer it keeps saying it needs java plug-in but Java is installed and updated. Any suggestions?

  • All of a sudden vs. all of the sudden. Which one do you use?

    I have a pet peeve. I have always thought the expression is all of a sudden, but many use all of the sudden. This has irked me for years thinking that people are ( to be polite, lol) misinformed. I have heard both on T.V., in books, and from people that I would definitely say were very intelligent, so Yahoo Answers people, which do you think it should be?

  • wireless access from a laptop?

    I have a laptop capable of accessing wireless internet. What do I do to use it? How do I get service? My laptop is about 3 yrs old and is an HP. I know I need some kind of card, but after purchasing this do I go to an internet provider for service? I do not have broadband at my residence because it is not available. Is that needed? I looked at something through my cell phone service, but I'm wondering how that works? Do I need a different plan in order to not get extra charges? Any insights out there?

  • Why does my new Yahoo IE browser not allow the javascript to work?

    The Java SE works on the AOL browser. I receive messages like,Java Script has a runtime error, or several Java Virtual Machines are running and caused an error. I can not play Yahoo games. I tried as one answer suggested to delete and reinstall, but that didn't work even though it was an upgrade. Can anyone help me? This was not a problem before the new install from Yahoo. Thanks.
