That’s really weird. I have that game, as well. Where did you download it from? You have to be careful. I download a lot of BigFish games because I like casual games. I’ve got a clean version and I can tell you where to get it, if you want.

@shpadoinkle_sue Thanks for answering. I had no problem with the Flash preview, I bought the full version directly from the Big Fish site and it works fine; I’ve played it all the way through. It’s presence doesn’t cause any problems except that after playing a few levels, the wireless card loses track of the network.
The Big Fish game manager application runs in the background and I’ve found if I disable it through Task Manager, I can play the game without losing internet.
