I am still having a problem with this program. It starts and 'sorts' the pieces, but not correctly, so it gets stuck looking for the same piece over and over.
I have tried it on slow, medium and insane. They all do the same.
1) Operating system - Win XP
2) Browser - Internet Explorer
3) Color setting 32 bit
4) Screen resolution - 1024x768
5) Smooth edges of screen fonts checked
6) What Java you are using - sun java
7) Is anything at all happening when you start the program - see above :-[
I have done all that too...All mine does is get the magnet, runs it back and forth across the screen til it gets all the pieces to the bottom right of the screen, then puts them in a big pile in the middle of the screen and sits there. I checked everything!! :-\
i am having the same problems, the same setup as they have above. sorts pieces in corner then puts them in the middle and just sits there. ive tried all speeds.
thank you. :'(
I had that problems too until I unset Sun Java...go to Internet Explorer, Internet Options, Advanced, then scroll down and you will see it.
Now, the problem I'm having is...it works the puzzle, but skips some of the pieces and freaks out because it can't find what its looking for.
just want to say it works perfect for me on all speed settings, I just love it. Thanks badgehelp!!!!!!!!! ;D
Countrygirl13 perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing your setup with the forum for those who are having problems.
i undid the sun java and it still doesnt work.
ok...well now i dont know what i did, but it won't do anything. ugh..gotta fix this!! (not yall, me)

winxp
browser-IE
color-32 bit
screen size-1024x728
smooth edges of screen fonts checked
sun java
is this the info you wanted? hope this helps. also I am using dial up and the puzzle will finish in 3 mins. on the insane speed.
Thanks. ;)
If someone could answer this I would appreciate it.I looked on badgehelp in Jigsaw,but it only says v3.2 Besides on pogocheats homepage where is the v4.0 on badgehelp? ty
AOL hasn't flushed their proxy cache yet ... thats why v4.0 isn't showing up yet.
tyvm Mayhem O0.thought it was my cache.I hates AOL >:(
yea..i just got v4.0. works awesome. doesn't complete puzzles that quickly, but it could be cause i have alot of stuff running. LOVE IT!!! thanks!!
Cool.I see the v4.0 on badgehelp now,but after I open it up still getting v3.2,so I'll just wait till tomorrow and see if that helps.
i set everything that country girl did and it still doesnt work.
i got 4.0 from the homepage on this site.
well are u running alot of other programs?? cause the game itself uses alot of memory. I can't run Jigsaw Detective from IE and run AOL at the same time. The auto won't run..it will just sit there.
I have found that the auto seems to work best in the Firefox browser. In fact flawlessly so far in my testing. ;)
i think im only running ie i have dsl and no dial up. thanks for the pointers ive tried everything im getting frusterated lol.
Try downloading Mozilla Firefox browser. ;)
hey homer...are you using sun java?? i disabled mine and used IE..and the auto worked..im about to try firefox.
I'm using sun only with firefox. :D
how long is it taking u to complete the puzzles?? I also have my task manager running and whenever the game starts, its takin up alot of memory...is it just me??
It takes me between 3:00-3:30 to complete the puzzle.
I am still having the same trouble. I even downloaded Firefox - still same trouble.
How do you set the smooth edges of screen fonts? I found it yesterday but I can't find it today. :-[
wow!!! i finally got jigsaw 4.0 and got it registered and flew thru the first puzzle in 4:14
i am using firefox with sun java, smooth edges checked and screen at 1024 x 768 on
windows xp sp2..........hope this info helps someone
an added note........thanks for making the autos work with firefox!!!!!!!

Right click your desltop>properties>appearance tab>effects>uncheck smooth edges and click ok
i downloaded firefox and got it to work from there. thank you it works good from there. O0
Cool. 8)
mine takes a while to complete a puzzle. Don't know why.
If you have other programs open in the background that might be affecting the performance. Close any program your not using then try the auto. The only thing I have open is the browser and the auto and it works perfectly. Approx a bit over 3 minutes to finish the puzzle. ;)
ohh ok..i'll try that. I'm chattin and what not when I'm playing pogo. Thanks Homer!!
Your welcome. Hope it works for you. O0
mine only works on microsoft vm java did the puzzle in 4 mins on insane speed
sun java it just piled them up and sat there
I download the program but it is 3.2 not 4.0 If anyone has the link please let me know...Thanks O0
Look at the topic right below yours. It goes over the whole JD 4.0 spectrum.
I read all of that but what does AOL have to do with the new program not showing up on the site to download? :-\
Use internet explorer to download the file off of badgehelp.com
AOL uses a proxy and their cache hasn't been flushed yet. Thats why you are unable to get v4.0 via the AOL browser.
Thanks Mayhem I will try it O0
It worked :D
Firefox rules, nothing comes close, I.E. still has way too many holes in it, even with the improved security updates.
I was running mine on fast earlier, but now on insane..it takes about 3-5 minutes to complete a puzzle. personally, it doesn't matter how long it takes..just as long as the auto can complete the puzzle faster than me. LOL
I have read all 3 pages of what everyone has suggested and tried everything. i have win xp and im on ie, screen @ 1024x768 and uncheck smooth edges thingy and nothing has changed....It still get the magnet, puts all the pieces to the bottom right, then stacks them in the middle and sits there. :'(
mine does too :'(
Homer, you say to UNcheck smooth edges, but the posts from people who have it working ok say that smooth edges are CHECKED. Who is right?
All I have is a dot flying around the screen and a kitten sitting at my monitor trying to catch it ! ::)
i will tell you what i have..........windows xp sp2 2.5 p4 with 512 mb ram.....
i run this on firefox browser.........1024 x 768 smooth edges checked.........and i run sun java and they just came out with a new update recently.....make sure that you are checking which browser you are running in the auto and i can run it on insane ....
i get the game up in the browser first with the puzzles pieces showing.....then i load the auto.........i turned off all my programs including antivirus..i had to play around with my settings before i got it to work
Only problem I'm having is that it will put half to 3/4 of the border together,then for some reason the magnet moves the whole border over and down a lil bit and the auto can't find to put the pieces together.Anyone else having this problem?
i got the 4.o or whatever it is to work on my computer the other ones wouldnt work but this one is great i unchecked smoth edges and used fire fox and i am soo happy i have my money order in the mail box and will wate for my password in aprox 4 or 5 days thank you for this wonderfull auto :)
Coool. I'm on AOL,but downloaded Firefox.Iminimize aol,so that only firefox is showing.I load the room for jigsaw and keep getting errors,applet corrupted,running programs that are interferring etc.I added pogo to my allow list for pop ups.Anyone have any other advise?
Hey Iceman. I had the same problem. It starts sorting the pieces then it has glitched where it put the left side pieces in the wrong pile and it tries the same three pieces over and over again. For me, I had to load IE....unselect my Sun Java...and then when I loaded the game in IE..it worked perfect. Hope this helps.
I got Jigsaw 4 to work (the first version that works for me) and here's some stuff that might help.
Win XP Home SP2 (fully updated), Pentium 4 Mobile 2.7ghz, 512mb RAM, 1024x768, Radeon 9500 Mobile 16mb DDR, works both with smooth fonts on and off...
Now, the auto will not work for me at all in Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1 running Sun Java 5.0. In the auto, all of the speed settings give the same result. Selecting 'slow' makes the auto still run on insane, which my computer just can't keep up with. The auto tries to sort the pieces to fast and the lag just kills everything.
Using Internet Explorer and MS JVM, I have no problems at all. The speed setting actually works, and the auto is able to run even on insane speed.
Here is my second computer. Athlon 1.0gh, 512mb RAM, 1024x768, Radeon 9000 Pro 64mb DDR. Will not run using Firefox 1.0.1 and Sun Java 5.0 because of the afore-mentioned speed setting issue. The system won't allow me to install MS JVM for some odd reason, but will work in Internet Explorer with the Sun Java.
In conclusion, my results were:
(Laptop) Firefox 1.0.1 + Sun Java 5.0 - No Luck!
(Laptop) Internet Explorer + MS JVM - Success!
(Desktop) Firefox 1.0.1 + Sun Java 5.0 - Success!
Go figure. :-\ Hope this helps somebody.
Ty I'll try those suggestions.Are either of you running AOL as myself or another ISP? That might be my problem as I'm on AOL,but will use IE or Firefox.Maybe too much running.
I took Homer's advice. the only thing I have running is the game..in IE...and the auto.
Yea...I'm on my laptop and with Sun Java it can't keep up.
DL'd this and love it! Works wonderfully. Awesome! I really detest doing these ugly puzzles. I can't wait til I'm able to register this DL, and a couple others. You programmers amaze me...thanks for using your talents.

Insane on Medium difficulty...a little over 3 minutes a puzzle. Gotta luv it!!!
I have got 1-5 same as lil green frog but im kinda an idiot with this java thing. how do you tell which one im using.? Every program runs great except the jigsaw 4, it is the only one im have problems with.
All it does is use the magnet and put al the pieces to the buttom right, then restacks them in the middle and sits there. I think im just gonna give up on ever getting the badges for them. :'( :'(
Mine works great!!! ;D I had no trouble with it at all

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced in Internet Explorer scroll down you'll see it.

Try usinf firefox browser and uncheck smooth edges.
Homer is there a trick to getting the room too load? I tried using firefox browser with aol minimized.Always get applet error.Not enough memory etc.I tried msn with firefox too,both javas,smooth edges checked and unchecked,disabling my anti virus.Anything else you can think of?
Loads fine here. You could try clearing your cache and see if that helps.
Pogo is acting up a bit today. Could be them as well. :(
or orion....instead of using firefox...uncheck Sun Java. That what I had issues with. Jigsaw is the only auto I have to run MS Java instead of sun. Don't know why..but it works.
I'm using it in internet explorer with aol closed...and i dont use sun java..but i still got xp1 service pack not the 2nd ???
how to you un check sun-java and if i un check is another java take over?
does anybody know how to un check sun java to try it with ms java?
I think you go to
Tools
Internet Options
Advanced
Then scroll down
However, I'm at work and only have MS VM here. So I can't check to be sure...
Ok,stupid question here,but how do you close Aol and stil be online? If I close AOL with IE running all I get are blank pages.
Ok, I have a broadband connection through my cable company and still have AOL, the only reason I still have it is because it comes in handy sometimes when the cable is down and I still pay $9.95 a month for it because I told AOL I was poor and had to cancel my subscription (lol..they gave me 3 free months too boot). Anyway, if you have Dial-up you can run AOL and another browser...just minimize AOL and open your other browser.
Hi everyone, I have been lurking around this place for a couple of months and figured it was time for me to open my mouth.
First of all I have to say that I Love This Place!!! Thanks for all the help and the autos, I am trying them and purchasing them one by one.
My question (s) relate to the Jigsaw Detector and please don't think I'm crazy :) While using the trial, I would have a few things happen and I see others have had the same problems:
detector would pile pieces in the corner and freeze, would assemble part of the border and then move it and freak out, sort pieces wrong or just plain not work. I have had all of this happen on the same trial, one puzzle it would work, the next it wouldn't. The average time to complete a puzzle is 18 min. Hey, I'm not complaining about that, I hate doing the puzzles anyway. But no matter what speed I try it on it moves the same rate. I'm beginning to think my puter is just possesed.
Here is what I am using:
1) Operating system Windows 2000
2) Browser Internet Explorer (tried Firefox and Netscape doesn't work at all)
3) Color setting 32 bit
4) Screen resolution 1024x768
5) Smooth edges unchecked
6) Have tried Sun and VM same problem with both
(7) Using broadband
My main question (I can hear everyone laughing already), is, when it completes a puzzle is it supposed to just sit there or move on to the next puzzle? When it completes on for me, it just sits there or moves the box all over the screen instead of clicking on ok. Is this normal or is it the gremlin that lives in my puter? Thanks again for all your help and keep up the good work.
Tyvm Bob.That's what I thought,but wasn't sure.I have tried that Motley minimizing my AOL.Problem I get Jigsaw moving my whole border and trying to put pieces where the border is moved too.I really don't care about how long it will take to do a puzzle 3 min or 20 min.Just wish it wouldn't move border.Maybe I can send a screenshot might be more helpful? Which will bring me to how do you take a screen shot and send it? Awesome auto except for moving my border O0

You may have accidentally moved your mouse. I have found if you move the mouse after starting the auto at the end of the puzzzle that box will move all over the screen and not allow you to continue. Try to set your auto where it won't interfere with the puzzle screen and press start but don't move the mouse after starting. See if that helps. ;)

I have the same problem. When I leave the auto to run by itself, it will do that (not all the time) but for no apparent reason. It's usually when it says "Puzzle Complete...New Image Available" but that's the only time it happens. So i have to babysit my auto, which is not bad.
that's exactly how you do it Jeffer! ;)
