What are your system settings?

[mam]

im using windows xp and colour is on 32

what else do you need to know homer ??

[Homer]

1) Operating system (Windows 98, 200, 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

k homer i just checked that.........

could there be any other reasons canasta is not working for me????

i just tried it again and downloads goes to clock and does nothing ................says waiting for game

are there any special settings for the table?

[Homer]

It's probably the smooth edges.

Go into control panel and double click system

Go to advanced tab

Click on the settings button under performance.

Scroll down a little and you will see the smooth edges of fonts option. Uncheck the box.

Click apply and ok and it should work. O0

[mam]

i have done all the things you have told me homer............honestly lol

now im getting a pop up saying cnanastnasta has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry  inconvenience

please tell microsoft about this problem and a buton to either send report or dont send

does this mean something to you

[Homer]

Reboot your sytem. It should work. Sounds like you got a browser error. O0

[marky03]

[Homer]
