Title: problem with Fortune Bingo
Post by: JohnsBeth on March 21, 2005, 01:40:14 PM
It was working just fine, now it does nothing.  Nothing on my system has changed since it worked.  Here is my system info:

OS >> WIN XP Pro, service pack 2

Browser » Microsoft Internet Explorer

Screen Resolution » 1152x864 (I have tried with every different resolution available, it doesn't work on any of them)

Color Depth » 32 bit

Smooth Fonts* » Disabled

I have sent in the bug report twice now and gotten no answer, the last time was thurs or fri I believe.

When you can get around to checking on this, I appreciate it.  Not going to be getting all upset or impatient, I have lots of other games to work on.

Thanks a lot.

Until you hear back from the programmer you could try deleting the program and downloading again. Just an idea. O0

Barbara, I said in the first post that I used the bug report feature twice, have not gotten a reply.

Homer, I will try that, thanks.

Deleting old version and re-d/ling it didn't work.  Guess I'm going to have to wait.  Off to play WCS, Lottso, MahJongg, etc.  I'll check back in in a week or so if I haven't heard anything from bug report.

Thanks.

Still haven't heard from programmers.  What is my next step?  I've sent the info from "Report a Problem" at least 3 times now, deleted and re-d/led Dottie's Dauber, cleaned cookies and cache, I don't know what to do.

I've had problems with this auto, have requested several times for assistants. The reply i recieved on a forum said they were looking into it, seemed to be a compatibility issue with sun java, or something. It has been months since i bought this one, still can't get it to work. Have sent in the report, emailed, etc. Patiently waiting still....

Sun Java has released a new version. You could try updating it. You can update your Sun Java by going into Control Panel, double click the Java Icon, click on the update tab. On the update tab you can put a check mark in the check for updates automatically box if you like and it will search for updates monthly or you can just click the Update Now radio button towards the bottom of the tab. Click Apply then Ok and you are done. O0

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced in Internet Explorer and looking for something that says "Microsoft VM". Put a check mark in the JIT Compiler box and click Apply then OK. You must reboot your pc after changing javas.

Do I have to do anything to disable Sun?
Title: Re: problem with Fortune Bingo
Post by: BadgeHelpOscar on March 29, 2005, 01:40:02 PM
Yes, close your eyes, click your heels 3 times and say (softly) "I wish sun was disabled"

Did it work?

Sometimes I have to spread my arms when I do it.

Unfortunately, no.  Dottie's Dauber is still not working on my computer.  I'm forced to cover all those numbers with my worn out clicker finger.  And I am the world's most unlucky person at Bingo.  :::sigh::: :(

Ok, now Dottie's Dauber works.  Sun Java was the problem.  Thanks Bob and Oscar for all your help.
