Problem: Black Pawkeet Slots / Brucey B Slots

Mon Jul 23, 2007 12:43 pm

For some reason, neither of these two games open for me. I just get a blank screen (in the pop-up window where the game should load). I sent in a bug report on Saturday; both games were working correctly before that day.
Is someone else experiencing the same problems? I'd like to know so I can verify if it's at my end or not.

Thanks!

I had the same problem on Saturday afternoon. I found out I needed a shockwave update - and that seems to have fixed it. I'm running Windows XP and using primarily Firefox.

Yeah, I use Firefox (version 2.0.0.5) too. I just updated my shockwave just in case, though I'm quite sure I had the newest version already. Nevertheless, it didn't help. I tried to open both games in IE, and it worked. So it has to be something with Firefox then?
On Saturday, before trying to play the slot games, I recall installing the plugin you needed to play that new game, River Rush, but certainly that couldn't have caused a problem with shockwave...?

I'm confused :roll:

Hm. I had recently installed the plugin for the new game as well - right before it stopped working. But then after running the shockwave update from the slots preload screen...everything seemed to be OK. {scratches head}. I did, however, notice that after rebooting my machine, I got an official "your shockwave needs to be updated" message before even opening a browser, so went through with that...so I think it might've installed the "update" twice...either that, or there was more than one update? I normally keep better track of weird things my computer does, but my husband was laughing at me because it wouldn't let me gamble and I lost track of exactly what updates I ran. Maybe try going to the shockwave page and making sure there's no more updates? Or reinstall shockwave? {shrugs}

OK, it was as I thought - apparently it was the 3D Life Player-plugin that messed my shockwave up. I uninstalled the plugin from my computer, and tadaa, both slot games are working again. Well, I can't play the new game anymore, but that's not a huge loss as long as I can gamble :battar:
