I don't recall seeing your name on the message board before but thanks for the tip. My security was already set to medium. I tried to change it to low but the "apply" box was white out. I guess the system will not allow me to have less than medium security. Next I deleted the game, downloaded it, and reinstalled it. When I clicked on the start command the game started just like it always had!!!!!!!! Go figure.
By the way I lost my first game 13-4, it was brutal. Anyway, a new PB season is underway, my computer is now capable of playing the games, and I am a happy camper! Thanks again for your help.
