Pogo games and Dashboard problems?

Hi everyone.  I am having a problem ever since downloading Mountain Lion.  While playing Crossword Cove on Pogo I will switch to Dashboard dictionary and enter a word for it's definition, when I finally decide what the answer could be I am not able to type into the crossword box.  What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Try looking up your words using Spotlight and see if that works any better. It shows you the files with those words, but also runs them against the built-in dictionary.
Make sure you click in the entry box to get an insertion-point before you start typing. The first click just makes that window active -- the second click should give you the insertion-point.

    I am making code to try to make a game and my problem is that my code
    will not let it change the hit everytime so im getting the first guy to hit 1 then next hits 8 and so on and always repeats.
    Another problem is that I would like it to attack with out me telling it how much times to attack. I am using Object oriented programming.

    }when the code is run it says something like this:
    you hit 1
    RockCrabs health is 9
    RockCrab hit 7
    your health is 38
    you hit 1
    RockCrabs health is 8
    RockCrab hit 7
    your health is 31
    you hit 1
    RockCrabs health is 7
    RockCrab hit 7
    your health is 24
    you hit 1
    RockCrabs health is 6
    RockCrab hit 7
    your health is 17
    my point is whatever some one hits it always repeats that
    my expected output would have to be something like
    you hit 1
    RockCrabs health is 9
    RockCrab hit 9
    your health is 37
    you hit 3
    RockCrabs health is 6
    RockCrab hit 4
    your health is 33
    you hit 2
    RockCrabs health is 4
    RockCrab hit 7
    your health is 26
    you hit 3
    RockCrabs health is 1
    RockCrab hit 6
    your health is 20

Any ideas? Other than the drivers are bad? ? I have physically re-installing the card. AMD Athlon 64 3400+.5 gig ramNvidia 7600Gt

  • G4 Ti4600 VT2D8X - Locked games and other Problems

    HELP!
    I have been having problems with games locking up.
    I looked at the MSI info in display properties and the card was checked at 4x, even though my bios setting of AGP compatability 3.0 is listed as 8X.  It wouldn't let me check the 8X box.
    So I downloaded the latest generic Nvidia driver (ver 44.03), and unfortunately, this cuased more problems.
    Now I can't view the MSI info or MSI clock in display properties. I keep getting an XP error that says, "Run a DLL as an App has encountered a problem and needs to close"
    Now mo matter how many times I uninstall the xp drivers and put the old one back in, I keep getting this error message trying to view MSI info in display properties.
    When my games lock, threre isn't any sound loops happening, but the game freezes visually. I don't think I have a sound card conflict but here are my resources for you to take a look.
    (ISA) 0 System Timer
    (ISA) 1 Standard Keyboard

    Also for the fun of it, I used Live update, only to notice that it detected a new driver for me to download for the Ti4800 card. Why does it not recognize my card?
    Someone please help.

    Richard and gfilitti,
    Thank you very much for your continued help. This really means a lot to me.
    Richard I do not use an antivirus program or a firewall program in the background for that matter.
    The only other thing in my sys tray besides nview is a creative console. could that be locking things up?
    gfilitti,
    I acutally dsabled that firewire right after I listed my irq's to test that out. It's still disabled and doesn't seem to help the problem.
    Is it a necessity that I disable system restore before using drivercleaner?  If so I will do it, but would like to think the program would work as normal without doing that.  Also not exactly certain where to disable the system restore.
    So by having 10-second lock up issues, is it safe to say that I don't have any hardware conflicts or potential ram conflicts? There are no irq's being shared and I don't want to pull memory chips if you already know that's not the problem.  I think I am getting close to ending this nightmare. Please help.
    Thank you!!!!!!!!

  • Screeching sounds in games and other problems with Soundblaster live extern

    Okay i have the USB external Creative soundblaster li've sound card. i have had a few problems. My first problem is When im in games such as Americas Army i get random Screeches like a tin can being scraped on concrete. My 2nd problem is Talking with my mic. For others to hear me MONITORING has to be enabled, there for i hear myself out of my own speakers as well. I have done everything to try and fix this, i've tried updating drivers, rolling back drivers, using windows automatic drivers. Is there an option i dont see that is causing my card to not sound good? I am using a 2.0 speaker configuration, and i only play the games with headphones on.
    please help.
    thanks for your time.Message Edited by Zombeh on 0-6-2006 08:30 AM

    You waited 24 hours and gave up? So I'll offer this for anybody else who reads the thread. I have a USB external SB card, but it's in a box somewhere. But IIRC, the Volume Controls work similar to other SB cards. In Volume Controls, Playback, mute the Microphone. In Volume Controls, Recording, select Microphone. This should let you "record" without hearing it on your speakers. Now if a game sets the mixer options for itself, that complicates things. If allowed, choose game audio options similar to these Volume Controls.

  • ITunes and Dashboard problem

    Hello guys.. Don't know if just i have this problem, but i noticed if i right click any song in iTunes playlist and get its info, for example to read the lyrics, my dashboard stops working.. I'm just wondering why..
    i have already repaired permissions and nothing's happened!!

    nope, that isn't what is happening.. i mean.. i'm using iTunes and i click on get info in a song.. so i can see the lyric and i open the dashboard to use apple's translator to see what the part of the song means, but i can't, because the dashboard is crashed while i get the info of a song in iTunes.. Not even the clock, calculator work while doing that...
    it's at least strange..
    tks for replying

  • Pogo games and others give me java scripy error message. Pogo says its fine but most games won't load.

    I get the same message whenever I go to a java based site. I am using ubuntu and windows xp, and have never seen this before. it is a small box that says java didn't load properly, but I have redone it several times and it hasn't helped/ It says Java application type error cid

    I have the same problem with connection reset. For awhile I couldn't even bring up pogo home page. I thought it was the ad blocker, but after allowing pogo site on ad blocker, the problem continues. I too am really frustrated with this; everything was fine until I updated Firefox. My solution was to download Google Chrome. Pogo works just fine on that. I still want my Firefox back! Any solutions out there?

  • New to this iPOD game, and having problems! Please help!

    So I finally got my hands on a Nano yesterday, and ever since then some odd things have been happening. I would appreciate any help to the following questions/problems I've been having, because the applecare stuff does not seem to really be either helping or addressing my issues.
    1. When starting iTunes, I was told (once it reconized my nano) that I neeed to install the new software for the nano, i expected this and downloaded it, and followed the directions. As soon as I did that though I started getting "Corrupted Error" messages in iTunes. To get this to stop I just reinstalled iTunes...I was able to transfer things now, but now the system does not seem to reconize that the nano has the new software, and asks if I want to install it, and when I do...(again) I start getting those corrupt errors again.
    2. I will move some songs from my iTunes library, to my nano, and it says they transfer over. I then eject my nano from iTunes, wait for the "do not disconnect" to go away, and unplug it, and sometimes, my newly transfered songs are no longer on my nano. Am I doing something wrong?
    3. I went to update my iPod with some playlists from my library, I went to the options, and said "only update from these lists" It updated my ipod...and deleted everything else off of it, and to add insult to injury, it only added the title of the play list, and NOT the actual song files
    I know this is a lot, but I'm really frustrated, so any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you so much for your time.

    Hi,
    Read this link if it happens again: iPod: What to do if Windows displays an "itunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
    There is another post I think it is in the User Tips Library that goes into more detail as well.

  • Java Game and bounds problem

    Hey all,
    I created four different backgrounds for a project I am creating. (The background are a top down view of a road with sidewalks). I have them named as road1, road2, road3, and road4.
    I have two questions. My first and most important is if I have a little box I want to move around the screen (a character), how do I set bounds so it can't go past a certain point (i.e. the road is the only place it is allowed to go)???
    And secondly, I know how to remove panels but if I wanted this to be a long road and once the character reaches the right side of the screen it would remove road1 and replace it with road 2. How would I accomplish this?? And once that is figured out, road 3 would replace road 2, but road 3 goes vertical so the character would go right through road 1 and right through road 2, but vertical through road 3 to get to road 4.
    I have a bunch of code if anyone would like to see to help make sense of this, just let me know exactly what you would like to see.
    Thanks in advance for all the help and I hope I didn't confuse anyone too much.
    P.S. If this has already been discussed, I apologize. I looked, but couldn't find anything.

    I created four different backgrounds for a project I
    am creating. (The background are a top down view of
    a road with sidewalks). I have them named as road1,
    road2, road3, and road4.
    I have two questions. My first and most important is
    if I have a little box I want to move around the
    screen (a character), how do I set bounds so it can't
    go past a certain point (i.e. the road is the only
    place it is allowed to go)???You have a couple of options that I know of--
    1 - simple boundary check, your road needs to be straight or mathematically defined so you can check by position.
    2 - easier: since you have sidewalks, you have a natural boundary--before you move check to see if the color of pixel is road or sidewalk. if road, then move to it, if sidewalk then do something else.
    And secondly, I know how to remove panels but if I
    wanted this to be a long road and once the character
    reaches the right side of the screen it would remove
    road1 and replace it with road 2. How would I
    accomplish this?? And once that is figured out, road
    3 would replace road 2, but road 3 goes vertical so
    the character would go right through road 1 and right
    through road 2, but vertical through road 3 to get to
    road 4.You have to figure out what type of overlap point you want in each pannel: when you come off of 1 and go to 2 do you want to start on the extream edge or part way through? Once this is done you just need to make a simple adjustment to your location and repaint onto the new panel. Same for when you go to the left side. keep track of what road you are on and implement a conversion from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 1, 3 to 2, and 2 to 1.

  • Java7 and Java6 will not work opening pogo games on firefox, but works perfectly for IE, what can I do to fix this issue?

    Java will not work on the computer all of a sudden. Now when I go to open a Pogo game room up i get a Mozilla red lego piece in the corner saying "Some plug ins have been De-activated for your safety, in the box will be "Java (TM) platform SE 6 U". I have removed Java7 and reloaded it, after that not working found Java6 and loaded and reloaded it and it is not working.
    Now after 3 minutes of the room not loading Pogo will give me the error message of
    Java Not Found or Not Working
    Explanation:
    This error means Java (one of the technologies built into most browsers) is not working correctly on your browser.
    You must have Java installed on your computer in order to run Pogo games, and it must be functioning properly. Either you don't have Java installed yet, or the Web browser you're currently using doesn't support Java or you have Java (or Javascript) disabled in your browser.
    How to Fix the Problem:
    Java is a free download that is required to play Pogo games. Not all computers come with Java pre-installed.
    If you haven't played Pogo games before and are getting this error, you probably just need to install Java on your computer.
    For instructions on installing Java for your operating system and browser click here.
    If you believe Java might be installed but disabled for your browser, please be sure to enable the plugin for your browser. If you need help, click here.
    If you already have Java installed and it is not disabled, your Java may be out-of-date or no longer working. In that case, your Java might need to be upgraded or reinstalled. If you need help, click here.
    I have done the click here in last sentence and all it wants me to do is download Java7 which was the first reason it was not working.
    Hopefully I have explained this well enough, from Mozilla this is what I get BUT if I go to Internet Explorer (which I HATE) the Java6 and Java7 work perfectly fine. So apparently the Java is downloaded correctly I just can not get it to play nicely with Mozilla and that is my main goal.
    EA games help page has gone through it all with me and have proven over and over (after 1 hour sessions, 45 waits for them) Java is working on my computer perfectly with IE just not on Firefox and with the rural situation I have become dependent on Mozilla because of the no fiber optics here it has been my best and only source of successfully using the internet here in the far out part of the country.

    Thank you so much, for once in my computer life I knew what the problem was, what caused it, why it was caused, what it did, what it made it do and most importantly how to fix it and to do it correctly and expeditiously. I can not Thank You all enough for all of the help! I also have Pogo mailed this to all on my friends list, where they have all learned as I have and have fixed theirs also. and the message is being spread. Thank You again, I just can not say it enough.
