I frequently download games from yahoo or whereever to play and suddenly I can't play them after they are installed when I click play or click the play icon all I get is a screen that says......
Action cancelled ...internet explorer cannot link to the webpage you requested, however these are offline games!
What could I have done to make this happen?

Are using any kind of pop-up stopper program, or firewall? If so, try disabling the pop-up stopper and/or giving permission to these games to your firewall.

I assume that you're connected to the Internet when you're starting these games. I realize these are "off-line" games, but I'm assuming the game program needs to connect for some reason.
