I stupidly played around with stuff on my laptop yesterday, and now my games aren't showing pictures. What have I done and how can I fix it please?

eg:  http://freeonlinemahjonggames.net/mahjong.html

http://www.lexulous.com/email?gid=2803579&pid=2&lang=UK There's supposed to be a scrabble game there.

I had much the same problem this morning Beth.

It fixed itself when I shut everything down and restarted the computer.

You could give it a try, you just never know

Meant to say I tried that. I uninstalled a couple of things I thought might have caused it, to no avail. Other than the games, it all works fine.

Thanks anyway Ma.

I brought up the link no problem. Suggest maybe you uninstalled a file connected to the games. Also have a look at you security levels they sometimes block things. Could try and reinstall game from scratch.  The thing I mostly do when the computer won't work is call "Andrew!!!!!" (son) lol 

PS  Thanks for the link

I had no problem with them coming up until I 'fiddled' yesterday. disbelief 

They're online games, not installed, so that can't be the issue. I suspect it could be security but don't know how to right it.

You're welcome ChiChi. wink

You will find that they do load files to enable you to play it.

Have you done a "Restore" ?  That should do it.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Go to 'start' and 'system tools' then 'system restore' and pick a date (eg. yesterday).
It will not affect anything you have done since then.

Cheers

How far back did you go with your restore point? You must select a time and date before you started fiddling.

Hi Beth, feel free to pop over for a coffee and I'll have a look at it for you. No guarantees that I can fix it, but I can try!

PM me - you're only just over the hill after all :)

Me too.

Beth added your link to favourites. Had bubble shooter there from the same mob. Would you believe the page comes up but no game. Mahjong no problem comes up fine. Not to worry I rarely played bubble shooter anyway. Maybe its a site problem.

 I don't know bubble shooter, so can't help you with that one. I've been playing mahjong for awhile...it's good for the brain. And I play the Lexulous with my friend via emails. We are rather addicted to it. We have at least six games going at once.
