Well you either don't have the shockwave, flash, unity, or java plugin/activex installed. depends on what game your playing:
go here for shockwave plugin:http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
go here for flash player plugin: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
go here for java plugin: http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_xpi.jsp
go here for unity plugin: http://unity3d.com/webplayer/
(bleah activex stinks but ie stinks too)
Some games made in shockwave may not work in firefox because of a bug i found in embed and not object tags. Here is how to fix this,
First download the latest shockwave plugin for firefox with the installer. Then go to Internet explorer and let it load the nonworking game. now reload the game in firefox and it should work. This works for any other games you guys are having trouble with. Symptoms i have found if you dont do this is freezing completely or for a little while causing annoyances and probably losing the game. Hopefully this fix will work until i replace all shockwave game embed codes with a javascript to make it load proper shockwave versions :)
Well vitalize isnt as a well known plugin and some people have a little bit of a hard time to get it to work If you need help contact me in the forums (that means you got to sign up to my site) or contact me at jason59549@yahoo.com:

If you get a black screen with a bar at the bottom or just a black screen after the game has loaded you should get another browser like firefox,Safari,or Google Chrome. Or if you are too lazy just look for the game on www.miniclip.com
I embed the miniclip games the require the external loader differently And i am trying to figure out how to figure out how to make them all work properly. I am trying my best. Please be patient. As of right now the only game that really doesn't work on internet explorer is commando 2 i think.
Well it may because you got dial up or it might be because you got an older computer. It also could be because of a virus possibly. It could be that you have an older browser and need to update. I would reccomend you get firefox because it is easier to handle and it loads pages faster
