For the best performance while playing Yahoo!7 Games, your computer and software should meet or exceed the following specifications:
Windows Users:
- Windows 95/98/NT
- Pentium 200 (400 for Y! Towers, Bingo, and Pool)
- 64 megabytes of RAM
- Internet Explorer 4 or newer or Netscape Navigator 4 or newer
- Quality video card with the latest drivers
- 16-bit colour depth
Macintosh Users:
- PowerPC processor, 200MHz or faster recommended
- Explorer 4.5 with current MRJ
- 64 megabytes of RAM
If you have the recommended technical specifications and still experience performance problems, here are some tips:
- Make sure you're not running any other programs on your computer.
- Java is somewhat memory-intensive, so the more RAM you have, the better. You don't have to add more memory, but closing all other programs while playing Yahoo!7 Games will free up more memory and improve performance.
- You may see better performance if you do not maximize the game window -- running the game in a smaller window should improve the performance.
- Try playing without the sound option in those games that offer sound (such as Yahoo!7 Towers).
