You could switch over to MSVM, but I'm not sure since it worked before.

In order for someone to try and diagnose your problem you need to answer the following questions and even then we may not have an answer. Odds are if it worked before you may have installed a program that is interfering with the performance of the auto.

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, 2000, 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.

Try emailing me a screen shot of the auto open with the game screen. Send it to homer@pogocheats.net

Sometimes it helps if I can see what is or isn't happening. ;)

Any info you don't want me to see please blackout. ;)

Did you recheck the status of your fonts or just use the information from before?  It sounds like a font issue or a java issue.

You can look up the 'smooth edges' setting in XP by bringing up the Display Properties (right-click over the desktop and select Properties or open Display in Control Panel). Select the Appearance tab and click the Effects pushbutton.

I suggest you make sure the 'smooth edges of fonts' setting is unchecked to eliminate font problems with autoplayers.

You are using a free pogo account and pogo is running a promotion this month sponsored by Nissan. This has changed the position of the screen and the graphics have changed. Your auto should begin working again after the promotion is over.

A yugo?  As in yugo buy one and it breaks down, you zip out of the top like Jiffy Pop and hackey sack that thing back to the dealership, where Yugo buy another?
