Actually I fixed the problem..I should have been creating a new
thread instead of just trying to call play again. If you wanted to see the rest of the code though there is a link in my previous message to download it in a zip file. Anyway I got it fixed now and it works right. Now I just want to make my computer player a little bit smarter because as it is right now it just picks an open spot randomly. anyway thanks for the input. This is an assignment for a class and we haven't really covered threading yet, so I messed that up, but I was approaching the assignment slightly differently than most of my classmates who were doing the bulk of their work in action listeners on buttons. I didn't really like the way that looked so I decided not to do it that way ( which I believe is what the teacher originally intended since we haven't covered threading in any great detail yet ). Thanks again.
