Hi all...I tried to get into the chat last night but needed to download Java Virtual Machine. Does anyone know where I can get this? I finally gave up after about a half hour.

Here's the link:

http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

Click on the "Download Now" link, and download it on to your computer. This Java download includes JVM (Java Virtual Machine) and other things.

You may also want to go into your Internet Options (while in Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options), click on the Advanced tab, scroll down to the Java and Microsoft VM area (about halfway down the list), and make sure that ONLY the 3 options under Microsoft VM are checked. If the option under Java is selected, uncheck it.

This should work, and you can go into chat at any time to see if it loads, although this board may not be chatting at the time. But, that's a way to test it.

Good luck.

Josie

(PS - I'm a computer dork, and have had issues with my Java, and when I downloaded JVM, I had to go in and change my settings under "Internet Options" in order for chat to work. LOL, I'm a dork.)
