I posted a problem a few days ago and I haven't gotten any replies so I'm trying again. I freeze up while playing Yahoo Canasta. It's very frustrating! Please help.

No one including me can answer that without a description of system hardware and software and actual experience adding new of either.

It's a new computer with Vista. I went to Yahoo Canasta to play just like I would on my old computer and get froze up in the middle of a game. I don't know if its something in Vista or java or what. I just know that on my old comp I never had this problem and now on a brand new one I have it on a regular basis.

Please tell us the model and make of computer or if home build the components..."new computer" doesn't quite describe it well enough!

Sorry. Dell Inspiron 531S

Well that is a very poor cpu with low cache, even though the memory is fine, and laptops have a hard enough time doing games as it is. Have you added any memory? Updated the video driver?

It's not a laptop. I haven't added anything. Could it have something to do with java? Of course I don't know what I'm talking about but it opens java when I log on to a game room and since this is the only time I'm having this problem I thought maybe that has something to do with it.

Sorry I thought all Inspirons were laptops. Well java is used for most games, have you updated to the most recent version?

I have Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 6

That is the correct one....
