are you saying you have adzapper or so, and it's killing the ads and not allowing the game to pop up?

im not sure if i have an adzapper?? How do i find out if so? Maybe that is what my problem is? cause even in regular browsing some ads do not show up

I know this much. If you have any popup ad blockers, most likely POGO games won't start. I have EMS free surfer mark II, a popup blocker, and occasionally I'll go on POGO and play Euchre with my mom, and if I have the popup blocker running, I can't play any POGO games. If you have any kind of popup blocker, disable it before playing POGO games, once you're in the game, you can turn it back on and everything will be just fine. ;)

edit: you could always do a search for adzapper on your hard drive, just type adzapper in the search bar. If that doesn't help. Go to my computer, control panel, ad or remove programs, and just scroll down the list to see if you have any. If there's an easier way, somebody more experienced on this site will be able to help you. :D

most of those games run on java, which popup blockers kill. youll have to disable as suggested above, and most likely keep it disabled while you play. also make sure you have the full activex and java plugins and they are enabled.

When it comes to "Browser Games" there are several things that you need to know:
1. Are you using an updated browser?
2. Do you have cookies enabled?
3. Do you have a pop-up blocker installed? (ie: Pop-up stopper, ad aware)
4. If you have a firewall (ie: zonealarm, Norton security) is it allowing cookies to go through?
5. Do you have all plug-ins loaded that are necessary. (ie: java, flash)

I think that about covers it. I know that most of it was covered by the other people, but I figured I could include it in one reply rather than several.
