I've been playing Yahoo games for years. About 3 days ago, they failed to load. When I asked about it, I saw that lots of other people were having the same problem. So I waited. This morning I tried to get into one of the games and got: Application Blocked because of Security Settings". I didn't set any different security settings. Then something about expired jre?? Wassup?
