I am one of those people that HATE to download stuff that I am not 100% sure that it wont effect anything else. So What I do when my cards disappear is hit score and when it comes up I close it and my cards just come back, so there is a solution for those of you like me .

Another way my cards stop dissapearing was to download a browser called Mozzila firefox or something like that.
It works faster and my cards hasnt dissapearing since I download it.

To end all disappearing cards and freezing problems in your canasta you must download Java2 1.4.2_08 (sdk)  Just type it into your search...and d/l it.   the other java is not strong enuf for the graphics in the canasta games...especially the 4 person games. Ive given this out to at least 20 people in pogo and all have messaged me back with great success.  GL ;)


That is also good to know. I don't play anything but the computer robots. And I use the dial up with IE. At least now people will have the option to try both fixes.. Have a great day!

That's what I did, Diamonddust and I had no more problems.  I was less than 100 red threes from the Canasta Cake Badge and it was DRIVING ME CRAZY.  My java console enabled was set to off as well and as soon as I switched it to on and restarted, it worked fine.  A couple of times after that, it started doing it again, so I checked to see if my jave console was still set to on, and it wasn't so I had to do it over again.  My PC has a mind of it's own.

anyone having problems with canasta freezing up during game? It freezes and cards disappear. I tried restating computer and cleaning cache to no avail.
I have had the dissapearing cards in canasta for some time now. I never had the problem before. I too contacted pogo, but they said the same thing that they know about it and blame everything under the sun . But anyways this is what I did to fix it. It may work for some of you also. First I went to the 'Tools' menu in Internet Explorer and choose "Internet Options..."

• Click the 'Advanced' tab and make sure you have the following settings:

Browsing

o Disable script debugging - OFF

Java VM

o Java console enabled (requires restart) - ON

o Java JIT compiler enabled - OFF

o Java logging enabled - OFF
then you have to reboot........It took care of my problems, hope it works for others. In my case the only thing I changed was the java console enabled. Mine was off before.
I NO LONGER have any trouble with canasta.

I downloaded the firefox browser and when I try to get in a pogo game it says: "firefox has performed and illegal operation and will shut down" and it does.  Any suggestions on what I might do?

I suggest everyone bombard pogo with emails about canasta and we might get it fixed.  I download sun java and canasta works with that but then most of my autos don't work with sun.
Would just be much simplier if pogo would address the problem and they aren't gonna do that unless we bugg the crap outta them.  ;D
