I am clueless. I don't know ME that well...

What is the browser doing? Just not showing anything?

I haven't used winME either. However, if the win98 settings are similiar, the list of web browsers allowed to use java applets only has 2 entries (ie or mozilla&netscape). Only the ie box is checked (I never modified these settings), but java works just fine. I'm using win98, firefox1.07 and sun jre 1.5.0_02, and only about half of the avatars sit down at the poker table. Until reading this thread, I thought that was normal. Confused

My suggestion, try installing mozilla. I've found it works better than firefox for some purposes especially on older computers. Also, simply having mozilla installed can make it easier to install certain plugins for firefox.

I noticed that at first my avatar was not properly sitting at the table. It was a cropped, from-the-waist-up image sort of floating around my chair. Smile

Now, my character sits properly, and I will see some other people being floaty for a while. Perhaps it's deliberate? It took a few games before the 'proper' avatar really kicked in, so maybe it was a newbie thing? Dunno.

I'm using Firefox with WinXP, btw.

I had to use Firefox through WINE (I'm on Linux) for the poker applet to work, not that that helps anyone Razz

ive no idea why people think Java is involved. its not used on this site.

What might be, however, is the .Net framework... look at the page icon for lastcallpoker - i can a dot net icon - although it most probably refers to the server, and installing dot net on my pc didnt help.

ports:
it uses port 8080 at least
looking in the source it appears to use ports 7070 and 4001
"7070&watchHost=www.lastcallpoker.com&watchPort=4001"

and so my corporate firewall stops me from using it Sad

According to the postcard, the poker game is done in flash, which is supposed to be platform-independent, provided that there is a flash player to integrate with your browser.

Of course, I wouldn't know, since I only seem to get popups informing me that I "Can not establish connection to server."

Ahhh...the poker games are in Flash. I thought it was a java applet.

Do the people having problems have Flash 8? Maybe that's the problem.

Someone in chat solved their Firefox problems by shutting off a pesky extension that was interferring. Maybe folks can try shutting off extensions and see if that helps. Also, update your version of Flash if necessary, as others have said.
