Re: SOMETHING TO TRY
Bewjeweled is a fun addicting game I think it is also on MSN if you have the regular version of the messanger.


Flashhorn I think there are ActiveX plugins for Fire Fox. er this is directly from microsoft though they always make these compatability issues so you use their stuff. I don't have the regular plugin for Fire Fox so I'm not sure if it will work.

Re: SOMETHING TO TRY

Hey Aurora !!


If there's one big reason why we use Firefox , is to Not have ActiveX Control.

I tried with the IE add-on and I allowed for the pop-up (which I usually don't)

and still the message at the bottom of the pop-up says to allow ActiveX.

I then switch to IE8 and all I had to do is allow for ActiveX to run and I could

play the game.


Aurora , http://forums.pcworld.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/7939/redbud.gif it's not a big deal but, I'd rather not have those things running in Firefox.

Re: SOMETHING TO TRY
Active X IS horrible and shouldn't be made active yes, but its nice to have an option if you really need to run something and don't want to go on IE at all. You could always disable the plugin or uninstall it when you don't need it which would be reccomendable if one were to use it. Nice flower I like it a lot.

Re: SOMETHING TO TRY
I prefer Desktop Tower Defense on Casual Collective as a time-killer. Easy, but is a thinking man/woman's game. Minions is fun too, especially for those who like RTS.
