Firewalls

[IndianLover]

Today i have been having many problems in pogo they are suggesting i bring down all firewalls, I don't believe in that afterall doesnt' that give Hackers access to go wild, and why would pogo suggest such a thing.. any suggestion?

I would not lower your firewall just for the reasons you stated. Pogo is prone to many issues on challenge Wednesday. I would try again a bit later if you can't get on. ;)

hackers wont hack your comp unless you have something they want on it.

[IndianLover]

Yes, but why bring them down and give them the chance I have personal info on my computer  :(

[fuzzyferrets]

yeah you better keep it up

[IndianLover]

Ok I was keeping my chin up, but i was working on hubbys badge this morning and still freezing does anyone know why this might be?  I allow the pop-ups and ad blocking is off

just like i wrote to pogo i have had the same cable connect for over a year, and Norton since I became a member so i know it isn't that.... I am getting so sad  :(

[IndianLover]

okay now every game is freezing that i play i now have to play on hubby's puter which doesn't make sense

Pogo did respond once again but they want me to open Easy Info for Pogo (what in tarnation is that)??????

[Homer]

Did you see my other reply? ???

[IndianLover]

I dont know if this will help or not, but it worked for me. This is after i disabled my firewall, only temporarily, and still had the problem, so i enabled it right away. I went to where u delete temp files and cookies, i clicked on settings, view objects, and it shows the downloaded program files. I just deleted all of the pogo games from the list, went back to pogo, and re-downloaded them to my computer, and they all seem to work fine now. Well, until pogo's servers "fart" and go down for their so called 'repairs', but i just go back at another time, and they all work well. I also read about "Unchecking" Sun Java 2 <for applet> (requires restart), and only having Jit compiler for virtual machine enabled (requires restart) "Checked", i also unchecked java logging. I hope someone here can help you, there are some very helpful folks here, keep up the great work.
