Please make sure to give as much information as you can when you have technical problems.

Here are some things that will help:

1) Operating system (Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP etc)
2) Browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL, Mozilla, Opera etc)
3) Color setting (24 bit, 32 bit etc)
4) Screen resolution (800x600, 1024x768)
5) Smooth edges of screen fonts checked or unchecked
6) What Java you are using
7) Is anything at all happening when you start the program

You get the idea the more information the better.

) Operating system (Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP etc) /Windows Xp Pro

2) Browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape, AOL, Mozilla, Opera etc)/ I E 6.0

3) Color setting (24 bit, 32 bit etc)/ 32 bit

4) Screen resolution (800x600, 1024x768) /1024X768

5) Smooth edges of screen fonts checked or unchecked/ i think checked

6) What Java you are using/ what came with the computer i dont know

7) Is anything at all happening when you start the program/ It would load and then do nothing or it will play 1 game but not play the speed round. And with would add in letters that arent on the puzzle. Mostly D's

To find what java you are using go to Internet Explorer>tools>internet options>advanced and scroll down and see what Java you have checked.

You can look up the 'smooth edges' setting in XP by bringing up the Display Properties (right-click over the desktop and select Properties or open Display in Control Panel). Select the Appearance tab and click the Effects pushbutton.

I suggest you make sure the 'smooth edges of fonts' setting is unchecked to eliminate font problems with autoplayers.

i was having the same kind of problems this last week.  and in addition to what your experiencing,  mine would go through and get half way done and then just stop and say in the auto window stopping.  what i did was delete the game from my computer and delete the auto and reinstall them both.  it took maybe 3 or 4 games of messing up and what not but now it runs smoothly all again like it did before.  not sure if this will help but it is worth a shot.  i always try those two steps before coming to the forum because i have seen others being told to do that and it worked.  hope it helps.
