    The messenger and the games need Java and the latest Flash plugin.

    #1: Click "tools" in your toolbar, select "internet options" -> click "security". Make sure that the security level is set to "medium" or below. If you chose to customize your security settings for the Internet, make sure that under Java "Java permissions" is not set to "disable Java", select one of the three safety levels instead. Also under "scripting", "scripting of Java applets" must be set to "enable" or "prompt". Now click "advanced", scroll down to "Java VM" or "Microsoft VM", mark "Java logging enabled" and "Java console enabled."
