[happydog]

Nooo. I can't get in to the new one either. It tells me to download Java plug in, but I have I HAVE I HAVE AND it's working BUT IT STILL WONT LET ME IN :04:

[lyn]

happydog. restart your pc and see if that works. you might want to just refresh first.

[happydog]

OK. Will try.......

[happydog]

No.
My specified nickname already exists now. In fact all the three I have tried now all exist and i am told to go back and edot to another one :roll: . I have cleared my internet cache again too, just in case. This is the message I am getting.

I am going to give up for tonight. Meanwhile, if anyone has any bright ideas please tell me :04: .

[lyn]

oooh err, the nickname you just put some numbers after it or make up another one but put numbers at the end.
as for the java???????????? i have no clue. i was getting the rest what you got but no java message. in the end because i use wireless off other peoples broadband the one i use with the strongest signal has blocked chat rooms :o i was a bit miffed and i think i know who's it is. i was wondering if i asked them to stop using parental control would it be cheeky ;) instead i have used another isp thingy but the signal keep cutting out. :twisted: i felt lonely tonight coz they were all having fun
i think its bullying by isolation :lol: :lol:

[Simon]

Hi,

Sounds like your Java is switched off in your browser. You can find out by doin this...

1. Go to Tools menu (top)

2. Go to Internet Options

3. Click the Advanced tab (top)

4. If you scroll down that list of junk, you should see one that says something like "Use JRE 1_5.334 for applet". Is this checked??

[Nicola]

I logged into this last night and there was nobody else there. How rude :02:

[lyn]

omg nic, i think thats very very rude of them ;) i will tell them off :D

[Alpha]

Oye Night Owl Nic some of us are old and need lots of beauty sleep...we can't be up partying all night.

[lyn]

well i'm old but i am beyond needing beauty sleep. i would have chatted nic if my lappy would let me :( would be nice to catch up :lol:

[jools]

when I click on chat, it says I am a guest....what's all that aout?

[lyn]

jools, you can log in with any name but its easier if you use a name and some numbers at the end. good luck in there and think of poor owld me who can sometimes get in then i lose connection :04: :04: :04:

[Simon]

On the login screen, there is a link to register a username - but i've no idea how it all works

Easier just to use a guest login!

[Jules]

got into chat no probs last night but tonight just cant get in at all

[lyn]

just thought i'd let you all know i am mightily offended that you have all buggered off and left me by my lonesome self for the second night running. its so quiet here its echoing :cry:

Wrong again Simon. Have looked and it's been switched on all the time It is JRE 1.6.0_02 though. Could that be the reason? :? It is the one I downloaded from your link.

[lyn]

happydog, thats the problem. install the newer version. :D

[Simon]

It shouldn't make too much difference. But if you're seeing a cross instead of the chat applet then your Java isn't running right. Something else may be preventing it from running though.

[lyn]

simon, i had the same version as happydog and i couldn't get in with it. once i installed the newer version i got in.

[Simon]

But if happydog followed the original instructions, she will have got the very latest update from Sun - therefore, her version can't be more up to date!

I wonder if we'll ever see EVERYONE on there at once!?

[happydog]

Yes Simon and Lyn. It is the latest version I have installed. It was from the link Simon posted.
Lyn I think you might be a trifle hungover? :?: :shock: :lol: :lol: :roll: ;) :10:

Simon What else could be stopping it? Any ideas? I am wondering if it is anything to do with my Norton package...... It usually is :roll: .

[lyn]

happydog i have norton somewhere on this lappy but i can't find it. i know if you have norton it can be difficult to get into some things. try turning it off.

[happydog]

happydog i have norton somewhere on this lappy but i can't find it. i know if you have norton it can be difficult to get into some things. try turning it off. :o :shock: Noooooo! Toooo risky!!!!!!!
Hope you're not feeling too tired today Lyn :10:

[lyn]

Lol... it's not gonna do your PC harm to switch it off and connect to the chatroom, just to see if thats causing it. Just don't do anything else at the same time (downloading / browsing). Once we know WHAT causes it, we can find a resolution. There may well be an option in norton (security center??) that protects against the use of Java apps.
