I have had some problems with VF and just yesterday with Plant Tycoon ( which I hadn't played for over a year). In both cases I was playing and suddenly I was looking at my desktop; no error messages, no freezing or crashing of my computer. In the case of Virtual Families I just restarted it without problem ( except that their new baby was wiped out!) but more ominously with Plant Tycoon I could not get it to restart at all; again no error messages, just nothing. I uninstalled it and was about to go to the Big Fish Games site to re-download it when I had a major ( and ongoing) problem with Internet Explorer 8 after I downloaded that. I only got here today with a Safari browser. VF works fine today and I'm off again to get back PT.

Just wanted to let you know that there are occasional problems (BTW, it has never happened to any of my 3 VV games).
