Help with Computer

I used to be able to play non p games online but now instead of getting the game(s) I get that little multicolored icon that has that square,circle and triangle. I've check Java, Active X and even got the latest Shockwave. still nothing even System restore doesn't fix it :(

[Homer]

Can you be more specific. What game is giving you trouble?

[kotraquin]

it's the games on miniclip.com. my fav there is acno enegizer

[Homer]

I am going to see if it works for me. ;)

[Homer]

Works for me. Have you tried rebooting your pc?

[fatkid]

What do the games say they need to run?
What OS are you running?
What internet browser?
What display settings?
What video card?
What version for Java, DirectX, Flash, and Shockwave? (whichever is the engine for the games you are playing)
Have you tried updating your computer for all the Critical and Regular Windows and Driver updates? (not through auto-update, but by going into Internet Explore and clicking on Tools and Windows Update; auto-update is a piece of crap)

[fatkid]

Have you checked the settings in your IE tools to make sure that all ActiveX and Java and Flash and Shockwave apps are enabled?

[kotraquin]

oh about System restore (it worked THEN)  I used that the first time then I did a stupid thing to free up space i got rid of all my system restores but the last one the last one being the 17th but that RESTORE didn't fix problem the one on the 13th did, but as i said I deleted old system restores :(

[kotraquin]

IE tools? advanced tab?
Where would i find it?

[Homer]

Under internet options in the tools tab. :D

Score 1 for John with his big post number 666... It's the mark of the beast! Ahhh... :P

[Homer]

LOL...I did not notice it. Reminds me of one of my favorite Iron Maiden songs..."666, The number of the beast" ;D

[kotraquin]

all enabled
it's only that kind of script on miniclip.

I tried reading the source code (to find out what kind it is )
that they are using but I really don't understand it.

[badcrazygirl]

Ure suposed to enable all of the Active control X thing i had that problem not to long ago.

[kotraquin]

I found the problem.... it was the computer admin AKA the parental unit and their Adsgone® popup blocker. they had disable macromedia flash ads checked
