I get the message: Oops,the puzzle has failed to start in a reasonable time. This could happen if your are no longer connected to the internet or your computer has problems displaying Java applets. Which then takes me to a FAQ page: http://www.jigzone.com/faq/help I had sun's java on fedora 7 and loading the bubbles takes the CPU to 99-100% so it fares no much better using Sun as Fedora's IcedTea does not run, protecting your CPU from going to 99-100% which is a good deal in some way. Other than crashing of course. Regards, Antonio ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
