java problem in chat

[lukeeales]

Hey,

I can't use the chatroom - it stays grey with a java logo in the corner.

The same happens with all java things on my laptop for some reason. I've downloaded Java 2 Platform, but that doesn't help.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Java problems are almost impossible to trace and resolve.

I had ongoing java issues for a long time and could never access the auction area for over a year, and got javascript errors with other websites too, spent forever trying to figure it out but no success. Then suddenly one day and with nothing apparent that I did my java started working, real odd.

P.S. Chat works fine for me and has great potential for us all to make more $ with shared knowledge in a more confidential setting than posts which are indexed by G. Thanks DCG for getting it off to a good start thanks to hard work of you and your staff and your real obvious link to it now on the front page.

The other night I was in chat with no problem. This morning I tried here at work (same laptop) and I keep getting kicked out so I thought it was a firewall issue.

It could be your spy bot software.
Spy bot removes some microsoft files
that allows people to spy on you.
This prevents some stuff from working
on your computer that you probabily
don't want to work on your computer.

For Explorer

1. Check your Microsoft Virtual Machine settings in your Internet options, and get the latest updates for VM.

2. Check Java is enable in Internet options.

Make sure you have the latest java libraries installed...

My only way of entering chat is by using Mozilla Firefox and the Sun Java plugin (all free dowload) - if any of the above doesn't work for you try this - I run Firefox alongside IE6 using it basically just for DNF.
