    Yes, try installing the flash player - I had a similar problem where nothing, especially animations, would load correctly. I installed flash and the problem was fixed.

    If you want a really fast browser - try Opera. I use that all the time after switching from firefox. I love it, and best of all, it's free!! :D

    When I took a look at the site that is the prompt that I get. Now I FF and haven't tried the games but just an FYI. I'll try some games and get back @ ya.
