nick: i did what you told me to do when the table goes black and once i did it , the game frooze for about 10secs then was ok any more tips?

could be a java prblem jamel, what version do you have currently? you can get the latest version from the java website. www.java.com rather appropriately named eh? :) errrrrm other than that it might just be to do with your computers memory and how much space you have etc.....

nick suggested that he said he has the same and his is ok, i got loads of memory on ma pc

delete all media desktops if you have them, other than that sorry but i cant help mate :(

ok ed

anyone with a java problem just take ajva off your computer and put it back on again works perfect until the next time it happens

Well when i had a java problem i un-installed all the java i got from the website and DIDN'T re-install it and now it works fine.

Java version v1.1.4 works nice if you have a decent operating system (Win XP)

Otherwise I'd reccommend the latest version of Java (1.5.0 update 4 or later)

Thanks Jamel, I will look into the problem further.

ok , ill try different java's if i can
