Yahoo & Pogo applet failures

Hello,
Ever since the JAVA 7 Update 51 automatic update, I have been unable to play Yahoo and Pogo games. I get into the games platform fine, but when I click on a room to enter, I get "Application Blocked by Security Setting" error.

Things I've done:
*uninstalled and reinstalled Update 51 (both 32 bit & 64 bit)
* had a thorough malware system check which was clean
* installed Firefox to see if it was browser related - still did not work
* read the JAVA security piece on why you can get this error message
* used the suggested Exceptions List so that these game URLs would run - did not work

Again, I can get into Yahoo games, however when I go to a game room and the JAVA applet starts to run, it fails??

Anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Cull57

No worries, see if the following helps;

With IE open;
1.Click Tools | Internet Options.
2.Select the Security tab.
3.Select the Internet icon.
4.Click Custom Level.
5.Scroll towards the bottom of the "Settings" list, under "Scripting."
6.Under "Active scripting," click Enable.
7.Be sure that the Security level is set to Medium or below.
8.Click OK to save and close the Security Settings - "Internet Zone" dialog box.
9.Click the OK button to close the "Internet Options" dialog box.
10.Close and reopen Internet Explorer.
