Local dimwit can't chat

Post by AssistantCrone » Sun Jul 02, 2006 10:33 pm

I'm trying to get into chat (from the site) but the login screen has been replaced by the little red cross of doom. I'm pretty sure that the problem is with my own settings, but I have no idea which little box I need to tick to sort it out. If anyone else has ever had this problem, could you tell me what you did to fix it? Thanks.

You'll need to download a Java plugin from :  www.java.com,  then restart your pc and it should work.

Apparantly I already have it. I've tried fiddling with the security systems again, but no luck.

Is your firewall blocking the Java software?

I'm no PC genius, but I think I had that problem before...

Genius. :)
