do try to load anything and cant think of how to fix this.

settings but i havent a clue? Anyone have any ideas?

With Tiger 10.4.1 you are running Java 1.5, there maybe
issues in that the games you are trying to run are written
specifically for Java 1.4. In short your running the lastest
version of Java and the games aren't.

Go to Applications/Utilities/Java folder... What Java plug-
ins do you see?

- Gorm

Open your Terminal window and type in the following....

Java -version

It will show you the version of java you are running. What
does it say?
