Code Cracker missing
 

I've had trouble getting Code Cracker for the last two days. I've tried
through the Herald, Stuff and Grownups, but although I get the page the game
itself doesn't show up.

Is it me, or something in the website please?

And how do I find if I have Java script enabled? I've found Sun Java Console
through Tools, but haven't a clue what to do with it.
I used to have it enabled, but could it have unenabled itself?
I've also found Java from the Control Panel, but don't know what to do to
find out if it is enabled or not.

Windows XP, Outlook Express 6, Internet explorer 7

Thank you
Geopelia

Java <> Javascript, so stop looking at your Java settings. Javascript
is enabled by default. So lets assume that's working too.

At the bottom of the webpage it says it uses the Macromedia Flash
Player. And there is a "Download Flash Player" link there too. Try
installing (or reinstalling) it - and see how that goes.

PS: why aren't you using IE8? - it's much faster than 7 for starters -
as well as having more features, more stable and more secure. For any
browser you use - *always* run the latest version.

If you want to check Javascript, have a look at this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/howtoscript

Check the instructions for "Windows Internet Explorer". But in short,
if you have the default settings in place, Javascript will be all go.

I tried to install Adobe 10, but I'm not sure if it installed. I think I've
got Flash Player.

I think I've got 7, but it could be 8. In the Help menu it says what's new
in Internet Explorer 8. It doesn't seem to say anywhere which one I've got.

Code Cracker has suddenly come back! I think it must have been Lovatts' end,
as I've got several sites for it and all had the same problem. It's nice to
be able to play again.
