I can't play Pogo games on Lion!

I've just bought the new Mac Book Air and Mac Mini. Both have Lion preinstalled. I tried to play games on Pogo and when I try to play any game, the screen fails to load. I contacted Pogo support and they suggested I load the Java plug in. After loading the plug in again it still won't play.

I can still play Pogo games on my backup drive that has Snow Leopard installed.

Is anyone else having problems with Pogo on Lion? If anyone has had any problems, could they give me some tips on what to do?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

I was having the same problem. I found this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3199280?answerId=15707919022#15707919022

I didn't find the java preferences under 'utilities' but when I typed it into the search box it came up. I had to install something, and then I followed the steps listed in the discussion. Now the pogo games work. Good luck!

Go to Applications > Utilities > Java Preferences

1) Click the "Enable applet plug-in and Web Start applications" box

2) Click the "Advanced" tab and click the "Hide Console" box (Turns on the Java console without display it)

You'll be able to play games on Pogo now.
