trouble with thunderpopper ii

[triplplay]

Whenever I try to user thunderpopper ii, it just keeps flashing "please start poppit in your browser."  I've tried starting poppit in Explorer, Netscape, and firefox.  any suggestions?  it's the trial version

You need to put your computer specs up.  What version of Windows are you running, which java, etc.  First, check your java and whatever it is on, switch it to the other (rebooting computer after doing so) and then try it.

doesn't matter if it's the trial or registered version.  Start Poppit in your browser, then load the auto.  Give it a minute, also click on the game screen to make the auto recognize it.

Next time you post about an auto, give some comp specs.  If you're not sure what they are..check another post..that info is posted alot of places.

windows xp pro sp2
java 5.0 update 2
screen res  = 1280x1024
browser = explorer, netscape, firefox (tried them all)
color setting = 32bit

i've waited for a lot longer than a few minutes and i've clicked on the game window and back to the thunderpopper and back to the game window, i've tried reset, nothing works.  it just says "connection type 1, please start poppit in your browser"

Oddly enough, I have no clue what java you have.  This auto runs on microsoft vm

i downloaded it from java.com because Microsoft no longer offers the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine

This is a question for Super Homer!

I have noticed that thunderpopper will only work with the "Classic" theme in poppit. Have you checked that?

i downloaded it from java.com because Microsoft no longer offers the Microsoft Java Virtual Machine

Look in the Pogo help section, using the keyword "java" and see what you can find there.

The Microsoft VM is also available in our Club Center.

i dont think it really makes a difference what theme you use when using the auto.  i am currently using the western theme and have not a problem one with the auto.  i just let it load completely before starting the auto.

and  yes,  super homer always has the right answer.   O0 O0 O0

I didn't know that smiles...thanks!   O0

you are welcome avs1roy33.  most people say that it dont work on any theme but classic, but it works perfectly on any theme for me just as long as i load the auto first, then wait for the game to fully load before starting the auto.   :D :D :D

btw.  i love the dog pic barbara.   O0
