To copy Homer:

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.

 load the game first then start the auto

[chelbylane]

1) Operating system ------ XP
2) Browser -------Internet Explorer and tried AOL and also Mozilla
3) Color setting----------- HIghest 32 bit
4) Screen resolution -------1024x768
5) Smooth edges of screen fonts------- checked
6) What Java you are using---Sun Micro
7) Is anything at all happening when you start the program------sometimes.....Stompzilla says playing but nothing happens...other than that--nope nothing keeps saying open game in browser......IT IS!!!

First of all, uncheck those smooth edge fonts.  Tell me what happens next.

[Barbara]

load the game first then start the auto

Not always valid advice for all the autos, yet good advice.  Bob's autos don't depend on the game or the auto being started in any particular order.

I have noticed that in Poppit you have to run the auto first then open up the game, but I am not sure about the rest.

[Barbara]

Thunderpopper needs to have the game started first, then the auto grabs the game and then you push "start"

[Gunner]

Thunderpopper needs to have the game started first, then the auto grabs the game and then you push "start"

I guess my computer is different, because I have to start the Thunderpopper first and then open the game for it to work for me.

OKay, that's fine.  I am just glad that it works well for you and I hope you are getting lots of badges.

Try switching javas.  Let me know what happens.

How much RAM do you have?  From you description, it sounds like you're running low.

It's also possible that you have other programs that are using up your RAM while you play.

To find out how much RAM you have availible Hit Cnt / Alt / Delete at once and go to the Performance Tab.  The "Physical Memory" area on the bottom right will tell you how much you have and how much is availible.
