Up until a few weeks ago I used the aarp games page everyday. Now I can't get onto the games page at all! I get a message that Ïnternet Explorer cannot display the web page. I also cannot access it in Firefox. There, I can see the page, but when I actually start a game I receive a message that I have to download Adobe Flash 8 or later. I already have Adobe Flash 11! Any suggestions? Anyone else that's experienced this? thanks! Dbellinger |

What operating system do you have? What versions of IE and FF do you have? What games were you trying to play? |

Had trouble weeks ago when revamped games page. Couldn't access games for almost 2 weeks. They corrected problem. Now they have added yet another contest and again I cannot access games. Why can't can't they leave well enough alone? |

For all those who like myself cannot access games , the same games are on "greatdaygames.com". Only problem is that there is 30 second wait between games. But still better than nothing. Hopefully AARP will rectify situation soon so that we all can access games on their site. |

Karl In Response to Re: can't access games page : Posted by krlklar Clearing the Cache does absolutely nothing. I am surprised that no one here has the right fix for this problem to make the games work as they did before some idiot messed up this site. |
