well dammit, I give up! I've tried a gazillion times to enter the chat room, but no luck. I type in my handle, click "ENTER" and that's it.

chidog-
have you tried turning off your firewall? there are a few sites i visit where i have to turn it off to get in, but once in can turn it back on.
strange thing about the chat room for me is that it loads about 10 times faster at work on dialup than at home on dsl  figure that one out.

well chidog if it is on, there's probably an icon in your tray for it. if not check your installed programs list and see if you even have one, and if you don't, get one.

Well I even went to my Norton Internet ecurity nd turned off my firewall... then tried to get into the room... no luck. I think this chatroom is going to be reserved for only those with a gazillion bytes of RAM or something...

I just tried it out of curiosity and I got in... I'm running the most critical anti-virus program that Norton produce.. and XP's firewall .. possibly Norton has a firewall built in also... but after waiting for ever for something to happen the screen finally appeared...
All the best

Well, I don't see an icon for it, nor is it in my programs list. Just how do I get one? (As I've said before, "I'm pretty stupid about 'puters".)

When I access the chat room, while it loads up, a little Java icon appears. The Java icon is a little steaming coffe cup. Java is a third-party piece of software that the chat room uses to do its thing. Maybe you don't have Java or the right version of it installed on your computer. Just a guess.....

Hi chidog,
I run the free "Kerio" firewall from www.kerio.com it's pretty good and the price is right. There is also an Australian website www.rayshaw.im.com.au that has alot of free helpful advice. click on firewalls in the left menu for more help on how to set up kerio.
Good luck, don't let the buggers probe your ports!
