[quote name='Dual45s']Anyone else have a problem where they can't play Chicktionary? I just get a long "Verifying Game" screen and eventually "Verification Failed". Happens on the new monkey game too. Word Slugger still works, but doesn't have that oh so necessary mute button.[/quote]
I get hang ups often with Chicktionary. I just reload the game and it works again. F5 or Right-click and R on Firefox. Might not fix your problem, but it's worth a try.
As for killing the sound for Word Slugger, on Vista you cna mute individual windows, so that might help. For XP I use FlashMute. It's a cool little program that you can use to adjust the volume of all your Flash based entertainment. But keep in mind this will mute all Flash on the system, including Flash based video players like YouTube.
Hope that helps.
