Any way to download the games to play on dial-up? :x

I'm trying to run the game swarm, but every time I click on it I either get a new window with a black fill or a blank white fill. I tried opening it in opera, but it forze on the load-up.

I have so far updated to the latest version of flash that I can download so nothing can be fixed there.

I tried hitting "save target" but I get an error message saying that it doesn't support downloading from ;

Opening in new window gives me a blank screen with the address of ;javascript;

I am really getting angry because it seems to happen with all of the flash games.

I really want to see if I can beat the high score on swarm 2 even if that means I have to disconnect and play and spread my progress over a week.

Looks like I have to beat 67000 and players have told me that it took over 8 hours to get their scores.

sometimes that happens to me too, and no matter how many time you click the damn thing it doesn't work. what i do is clear my cache, cookies, everything, and restart my computer. on occassion i also change my IE settings back to default.

also if that doesn't work sometimes trying again later sometimes does, weird but true.

with the window with black fill, sometimes its just the preloader taking alot of time to load, some time i had to leave it for half an hour before it had loaded.

you don't have a firewall or something like that? mine used to block things from neopets until i set it to allow. or what version of IE are you running? (not like that should really affect stuff)

good luck though :) dialup! i know your pain ;)

Clear your cache. That's the standard problem.

Also, you can't download the games, because part of the way they work is maintaining constant contact with the neopets server, and also sending data with the score that has to do with framerate.

if you don't want to take a lot of time to reload the games every time you play them, just always keep a browser window open.
