BleepingComputer.com: Yahoo Games Issue

Hey guys. Interesting problem here. I've been able to play Yahoo Games before (like pool) but now a days i can't. I sometimes just get kicked off the browser, but i've also gotten a message saying:


This game cannot be played using your current settings. Please, try the following:

* Check to make sure that java is enabled in your browser.
* If you do not have java installed you may download it here.
* To learn more about java support for browsers, visit our help pages.

I've tried all of that and nothing works.

I dunno whats going on here. Even IE wont play anything on Yahoo Games. it's really odd.
