I have a mini golf game saved on Favourites, and on the original email to
me.
I used to be able to open it from either place.

Now whichever I click on, it just gets stuck, the X keeps turning and the
blue line gets about a third of the way but no further. I've tried clicking
Refresh. History has been cleared so it won't be there.
Other Favourites and emails are working normally.

Windows ME, Outlook Express 5.5
Any ideas please? (nothing too technical thanks).
Geopelia

A link to the website might help.

The website is http://www.fhmus.com/images/reporter...r/miniputt.swf

If it had been removed, there would be the usual "website is not available"
page, but that isn't there. Just a blank where nothing appears. I left it
for about five minutes, it should have arrived by then.

the .swf indicates it uses Macromedia Flash. You'll have to (re)install
it.

Thank you. I installed Macromedia Flash from the link, which was successful,
but the game still won't arrive. It gets half way and sticks, though the X
is still turning. It should surely get here within five minutes, shouldn't
it?
I've tried restarting the computer, no luck.

Looks like the Minigolfer is stuck in a bunker! Tiger where are you?

It's a 845 KB file. It will take a while to load if you're using a dial
up connection.

Deceptive course. I breezed through the first 16 holes, then tanked 17 and
18--those are HARD. Ended up 1 under for the whole course despite an 8 on
17 and a 9 on 18.

I just tried it, on dialup here, and it took about 3 minutes.
Found it on my HDD and played off line.
Got a 56.

The 18th hole is a tough one, thats for sure.

Thanks for that, Boomer. I wasn't sure how long it would take, since
it's been over a year since I've used a dial up connection. He must
have another problem then.
