I've recently started playing these games and each has it's own little quirk. FYI - I'm using a HP netbook, 2GB RAM, plenty of HD and processor speed - 1.6 GHz (dual core) with Intel Media Graphics Accelerater 3150 - etc. Carniball - Everything is fine until you click Play Now - then the game screen flashes rapidly between two screens - so there is no way to play. Pool - The game plays fine but it doesn't update the score - I had a high score of 9230 but it still shows a lower score. NOTE: On occassion I've changed the score by Clearing the Cache and then Clicking Refreesh but it doesn't work consistently - mostly doesn't work at all. Crossword Expert - No score update - only the first game ever - after that zilch. Plus after the game the game screen stays gray without any option for play again - I have to Refresh the page. Jigsaw - Hard -- The Screen begins to show the Intro with some photos moving about Except that One of the Pictures is All White with a row of 2's on the bottom right 22222222222222222222222 < like that. It continues to cycle the same photos and the 2's with no chance to move on. I don't really know what else to do so if someone knows how to get these issues resolved I'm open for suggestions. Anyone? Thanks in Advance --

If it is not immediaely displayed check some ot the items on the top of the screen like Games or options with a menu selection underneath when you click on them. In many cases a timing function is one that can be turned off. |

Posted by Trea Deja Vu Solitaire isn't time, and the only timer in Backgammon is the 2-minute timer for you to take your move. Of course, Backgammon cheats since the updates, so it's not much fun. Also, 5-Roll isn't timed.

You can't get to the message board from the Deja Vu Solitaire screen. There's some "hot spot" that's active in the area where the link for the message board should be. I hope my description makes sense. |

The "drop down" links disappear as soon as I try to go to the "message board" link...

Thanks in Advance -- Posted by ARRPdenizen You may want to take a look at this site for more information about your Intel Media Graphics Accelerator. I would have to say that you are very limited as to what you can do with a netbook. |
