A: This may be because your computer cannot read Flash or Shockwave at this time. This is due to either: a) you may have Flash or Shockwave disabled or b) Flash or Shockwave is not installed or installed incorrectly.

Some older versions of windows have trouble supporting Macromedia Flash version 5 and above, if this is the case then you may have to avoid playing these games

Q: I can't get a ActiveX game to work?

A: This is a real pain for anyone who is not using Internet Explorer and Windows. ActiveX will not work in firefox or opera or any other browser.

Unfortuantly certain business, non-profit and military bases disable ActiveX, try using a proxy site e.g: http://www.anon-proxy.com however we advise you that this only works around 25% of the time since ActiveX is generally blocked via the computer rather than the IP.

 

Q: When I click the Play Online button nothing seems to happen

A:  You are using a tool-bar initiated ad blocking program that is mistakenly conflicting with our popup games windows.

This can be easily sorted by clicking 'temporarily allow pop-ups from this site'

If this does not work then your pop-up blocked is not tool-bar initiated and you must manually go and switch it off.

 

Q: The games are running slow on my windows personal computer?

A: Ok this can be attributed to a host of reasons:

Your computer maybe using too much of its CPU, try shutting all other active programs and clearing out any unnecessary files from your hard-drive.

Also make-sure you are maintaining your computer well: run a defrag and a virus checker!

Next common problem is the display of colours:

Check your color setting by going to your windows CP, double-left-click on the 'display' icon, from there- properties screen and select the 'settings' tab at the top and you will see a pull-down box for you to check your colour settings in: 16bit or 8bit is preferable, anything lower will make your games run slower!

 

Q: The games are running slow on my Apple Mac

A: Older Macs run our games better than windows or the new Macs. The newest Macs using Java 2 and JVM cause us constant errors. Try using a different machiene since not all Macs behave to our games in the same way. Also try using different games since we have run many tests and get different results each time. :(

 

Q: I have Linux/UNIX system. Can I play the games?

A: Yes you can although we don't recommend it, Java works intermittently on these systems in our experience and we have had reports of crashed servers and a complaint from many European hosts that it can interfere with cascading Linux systems
