Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

After the most recent update, I am unable to play Serpentine

There's a game I like to play that is like Boggle. The website is:


http://games.cobradragon.com/


I sign in as usual and go to the game and get this error notice:

At first I thought the site was down but my husband is able to play on his Windows XP computer. I tried using Safari, Firefox and Chrome and get the same response. This only happened after the latest security update so I'm wondering if there is some setting I need to change. Does anyone have any ideas?


My computer is an iMac OS X 10.6.8


I don't have virus software that would prevent it from running. I'd appreciate it if someone can help me figure out how to fix this problem.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.2)

Okay, sorry. Here is my security settings in Safari:

But then I went and played on my macbook and pulled up the tools and java console and I got the same thing but I was still able to play the game. Thank you for your patience and trying to help with this problem.

I am definitely not going to update my macbook until I figure out what this problem is.

What do you think about this idea: I could look at my Java Preferences on the macbook and compare to the imac and see if there are any differences and if there are, change the ones on the iMac to what they are on the macbook. Same OS.....10.6.8 . The only difference is that I haven't updated my macbook with the security update.

I have the latest Safari on my iMac. It's the one that gave the warning when I try to play Serpentine about Unsafe Javascript.


I have not updated Safari on the Macbook, it's the one that gave the message about the Webkit. Despite that message, I can play Serpentine on the Macbook using Safari, Chrome or Firefox.


Sorry for the confusion.


The facts are: I can play Serpentine on my Macbook where I have not updated with the Apple Security update.


I cannot play Serpentine on my iMac where all updates are current including the Apple Security &

Safari update.



It bothers me very much that I can only play the boggle game on a Windows computer or my Macbook but I can't play it on my iMac. I hate the Windows computer that belongs to my husband. I will continue to play on the Macbook but I like to be able to play on my iMac. Something from the security update clearly made it so I can't play the game on my iMac. The iMac is the latest and best computer in the house. I hate it that I can't play a simple Boggle game on it after installing updates from Apple.

BDAqua, please don't give up on me yet, I think you're helping. I've got Java and Java script working now without errors. Now when I try to get in the game, Google Chrome and Firefox both tell me,


"The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash."


When I try to play using Safari, I don't get any error message at all but nothing ever happens. The game just doesn't work.

The Flash is the most up to date one for my OS.


I went to the Shockwave page and downloaded that and installed successfully. I then closed the browser and restarted my computer just to be on the safe side.


Now instead of getting the shockwave plug in error, it's gone back to the more generic error that says there is a problem. I tried in all three browsers.


I hate to admit this but it really really bothers me when something doesn't work on my Mac because I'm the sole Apple person in my house and everything else in the world works better on my computer. Now that I'm having this problem, my husband and my son (both silly PC users) are enjoying this WAY TOO MUCH if you know what I mean. It shouldn't bother me but I can't seem to help it. My husband is sitting right next to me on his stupid slow Windows XP computer playing Serpentine as I type this. I think he's evil.

Hmmm, could it possibly be he logged into some account there that you're trying to log into also?
