HARLEY · February 09, 2005, 05:48:52 AM

IndianLover · February 09, 2005, 06:14:40 AM

Me to, but i haven't tried it until badge comes out, hope everything works out someone will figure it out for ya ::)

I found that to get it to work, you have to wiggle your mouse from the auto window to the checker board. Then it moves really fast. But if you stop your mouse, the auto stops as well.

momoftwo · February 09, 2005, 07:30:18 AM

It has never worked for me either. I have tried changing lots of things on my computer but just can't make this one work. Looks like a long day playing checkers for us.

:P

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, 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

You get the idea the more information the better

Motley · February 09, 2005, 10:01:45 AM

I didn't have a problem with it either, I was even able to hit the resign button and do various other things on my computer while it played for me. Which sometimes isn't possible with the other ones. :) Just one more badge to go for this week, I'd be done with Spider if it wouldn't keep kicking me out of the room with a nasty error message. Oh well, Pogo wouldn't be Pogo if it didn't have some sort of problem on Wednesday.

IndianLover · February 09, 2005, 11:04:51 AM

No problem here either it's an excellent program i loved it tysvm :-*

Jinx55 · February 09, 2005, 12:21:05 PM

1) Operating system Window ME
2) Browser Internet Explorer
3) Color setting 32 bit
4) Screen resolution 1024x768
5) Smooth edges of screen fonts unchecked
6) What Java MS VM
7) Checkers starts, makes a few moves then an 'error' message pops up and shuts the auto off
Thanks if anyone can help :)

momoftwo · February 09, 2005, 12:28:47 PM

Giving my info does not help. The reply will be to "uncheck smooth fonts or change screen size" or something like that. All of the common things that are usually wrong with some of the auto's. I have tried them all. I have just resigned myself that some of them don't work on my computer. Like the mahjong auto. It doesn't work and nothing I do helps. The spider solitaire works and the auto looks the same as the other one. Go figure. I have tried to get help before and get answers like "I just tried it and it works fine". Um, ok thanks for the help. I usually learn more form other peoples posts and not mine. Not trying to be snarky just stating my opinion. ;)

IndianLover · February 09, 2005, 01:09:28 PM

Sry, momo, they will help, i however cannot sry.. so maybe by saying that mine was working well wasn't the proper thing to say I apologize.

Well if you are unwilling to give your system specs, Your not going to get much of an answer. Oh I see now, you have everything figured out already. Right?<sarcasm> Is it really asking too much to do? :(

Jinx, the only thing I see out of the norm is the fact you are using ME. I don't know if it is ME compatible. Maybe someone from badgehelp can verify this.

Jinx55 · February 09, 2005, 01:21:26 PM

Thanks Homer...I can keep putting the auto back up and it makes a few moves then message pops up-just keep repeating the process long job 'auto' or manual :(

Wyzyrd · February 09, 2005, 01:29:57 PM

Must be an ME problem cuz im having same trouble - it runs a cpl moves and it the min. it make a jump move in ur favor and u get the +5 token graphic it causes a checkers.exe error and closes

momoftwo · February 09, 2005, 01:51:31 PM

1) Operating system - Windows XP
2) Browser - Internet Explorer
3) Color setting - 32 bit
4) Screen resolution - 1280x1042
5) Smooth edges of screen fonts - unchecked
6) What Java you are using Sun (but I switched to MS ? and it still didn't help)
7) Is anything at all happening when you start the program

I have tried other screen resolutions but it made the image so big nothing fit on the screen. I have a large screen. Could this be the problem? The checkers auto does nothing when I start game. Same with the wordjong. Can it be the same problem? I have tried switching back and forth with both Java's too. Too much info? I really appreciate you trying to help. I didn't mean to hijack someone elses post. And my last reply was with a little sarcasm myself, Homer. ;)

By the way love a lot of the other autos. The new Jigsaw Detector rocks! Could not live with out the Aces Up or Mahjong ones either. I think you all are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. O0

Homer · February 09, 2005, 02:15:35 PM

Try changing your screen resolution to 1024x768

On your wordjong issues make sure you follow the intstructions on the badgehelp website download page for the auto.

momoftwo · February 09, 2005, 02:49:43 PM

I tried to change the screen resolution but it makes the image so big that the game is too big to fit on the screen. And with wordjong I have tried opening the auto first and tried opening the game first it still says "please start wordjong in your browser"..... what else could it be?

CHECKERS....
