Do you have an instant sweeps that won't work for you? Have you updated Macromedia Flash?

TEST:

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/


Verify which version you have:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/


HomePage:
http://www.macromedia.com/

- the following links are at the bottom of the page where it says Download Players



Macromedia Flash Player Download Center
Windows
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&promoid=BIOW
*Make sure to uncheck if you don't want the Google Toolbar



Shockwave Player Download Center
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/?promoid=BIOY



Also - make sure you are updated on Java


Go here for Java:
http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp



If it STILL won't work? Put the pesky site in your allowed:

At the top, click on>TOOLS>INTERNET OPTIONS>SECURITY>TRUSTED SITES>Click on sites button, then type or C&P the site address in add this Web site to the zone then click ok/apply.

Having problem re-entering a daily IW?

Go through the rules!

Now, if there is no link or the link is unusable in the rules?

Just load the rules page and delete the last part of the address - up to  the ? mark - and then refresh the page - that will take you right to the log-in/register page with returning players log in link at the top  8)

If Firefox upgraded on you:

Quote from: "blackleatherrain"
Firefox just upgraded itself on me this week, and now I can't play most of my instant sweeps, because it won't show the animation or even fully load the pages with it.  It's very frustrating.

Is anyone else having this problem?


Open up FF & verify java/macromedia again  - update as needed, close FF, reboot. 8)

troubleshooting tips:

Clear all temp files & cookies

Reboot & retry

Try a different Browser - IE, FF, and for the real PITAS, Google Chrome

Try a different computer

If none of these work? It's possible you have a conflict with a program - did you recently add or update?

http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/remove_olderversions.xml

The latest version of Java is always the recommended version as it contains updates and improvements to previous versions. You can confirm that you have the latest version by visiting the Java Verification page.
Over time, you may have installed multiple versions of Java to run available Java content. In the past, each Java update was installed in separate directories on your system. However, Java updates are now installed in a single directory.

Should I remove older versions of Java?
We highly recommend users remove all older versions of Java from your system.
Keeping old and unsupported versions of Java on your system presents a serious security risk.
Removing older versions of Java from your system ensures that Java applications will run with the most up-to-date security and performance improvements on your system.

How can I remove older versions of Java?
You can safely remove older versions of Java from your system by following the instructions on Java uninstallation instructions for Windows page.

Do I need older versions of Java?
The latest available version is always compatible with the older versions. However, some Java applications (or applets) can indicate that they are dependent on a particular version, and may not run if you do not have that version installed. If an application or web page you access requires an older version of Java, you should report this to the provider/developer and request that they update the application to be compatible with all Java versions.

 Perform a one-time deletion of temporary Internet files by going to 'Tools,' clicking 'Internet Options' and finding the 'Browsing History' heading under the 'General' tab. Click the 'Delete' button, then click 'Delete Files.' Click 'Yes' when Internet Explorer asks you if you are sure you want to do this. Your Temporary Internet Files folder is now clear.
