BleepingComputer.com: Yahoo Games

I cant seem to get yahoo games to finish loading on my pc (windows xp sp2). Ive tried using i.e. 6 & 7 and netscape 7.1 and 8 (these two got to the point where they wouldnt even open at all and i just uninstalled them) and I just tried using the latest from fire fox. It gets to the point where it says loading java applet but the room itself wont load. Any Ideas?

What version do have on Java?

Im am now running a new dell computer and have started having the same problem still using
windows xp sp 2 it shows im running java 2 standard edition version 1.5 (build 1.5.0_06-B06)

Whats weird when I first got this system around 1/9 the game room would load if I just hit the
reload button. It quit working a couple of days ago. Any ideas?

Thanks
