Java Issue

**Domtotrain** · 09-25-2006

For some reason, all of a sudden, I cant get into the chat room. I get a message saying that I need to download the Java for runtime. I click the button, it downloads, I verify it and we start the cycle all over again. I have deleted cookies, restarted, deleted temp files, restarted, nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

That's weird. I've gone in and had java errors, only to just go right back in and have no problems.

PC or Mac?

**Domtotrain** · 09-25-2006

PC, I can still get on with my Mac.

**maddie** · 09-25-2006

Further proof of the superiority of Macs.

may be a browser problem ---I have problems from time to time using IE to get into chat ---I never have a problem with my PC using firefox ---

**maddie** · 09-25-2006

Well, I can second that I've had nothing but problems with IE and chat. Firefox on the Mac is iffy. Safari works just fine.

**Domtotrain** · 09-25-2006

I have the same issues with Firefox......it has to be something else.

ok once long ago I had to delet my java and redownload it as my copy had become corupt some how ----I have not had a problem except with IE since

**Domtotrain** · 09-25-2006

I did a "find" on Java and there were about 100 files and folders.........I'm afraid to delete it all.

Wouldn't you do it through 'add/remove programs?'

Would be the best option if you want to remove it, and install a new version.

I use both IE and FF. With FF the banners at the top of the chat had casued the entire page to refresh, forcing me to click inside the typespace with each refresh in order to chat. In IE I don't have that problem, however if I try and alter the chatrooom avtar, or change the font style settings during the chat. I get an error that closes the entire window. It's not enough of an issue to me to replace the java or use another browser. However, if I wanted to try another browser I would attempt to use Opera.

Hope you resolve your problem!

I have a similar problem... everytime I go into the chat room it says 'java applet failed'

I've deleted the version I have, and downloaded it again. Deleted cookies, the works... it just doesn't seem to like me T_T

**_ID_** · 10-21-2006

try the latest version of IE from yahoo. I downloaded that, and it fixed the errors I was having. I am expecting the same results from FF when the final version is released on the 24th of Oct.

Its just wierd, because I go into other chat rooms I'm part of, and although the chat is operated by Java, it works fine everywhere else. Its just here.

As I said... it hates me.

must just be that Aussie version of Java ---lol

**Depo** · 10-24-2006

Kewl and I have not been able to get into the library chat room since it changed servers. So it is not just an Aussie only problem. It happens on both of our puters at home and hers at work.

**poetic_justice** · 10-25-2006

Come on then almighty Rabbit

...

HELP!!

**_ID_** · 10-25-2006

Have you tried upgrading your version of your browser? They have all updated recently. Additionally, have you tried using a different browser? IE vs Fire Fox, or vice versa?

We will get it figured out for ya, just takes some try this try that steps for us to eliminate the possibilities.

Tried that ID
Thing is, that java works just fine when I go into other chat rooms, just not here!!

STUPID JAVA!!
*kicks Java*

**Depo** · 10-26-2006

We have unloaded java and reloaded it several times. The problem is in the Library as we can get into the sample chat room on RealChat and out Java works everywhere else. This is the same thing that happened to Curious the las time the library switched servers. Thank you

**ZaithianKnightwolf** · 10-26-2006

Could simplely be a problem server end. The program thats written in Java might have some kind of fault in it, and as it loads something happens and causes problems. Maybe its not talking with the server properly perhaps?

**Depo** · 10-26-2006

This is happening on 3 different computers and 2 different ISP's. I normally use IE but I did try Firefox but it did the same thing.

**kewlie** · 10-27-2006

I just downloaded the latest update for my brower and I still cant get in the chat room. Any other ideas? This is not making any sense whatsoever.

**_ID_** · 10-28-2006

What version of Java are you using, and where do you get it?

**poetic_justice** · 11-05-2006

Screw this... I just give up!! LOL

**tazzinnc** · 11-07-2006

I"m having the same trouble. I can't get chat to work.
i've upgraded Java, have the latest IE fixpack, although refuse to upgrade to ie7 because several sites I visit won't support IE7 until January.
even using firefox it doesn't seem to work.
I havn't been able to get chat to start for the last week. even when it did start, it would only start 'some times' usually after I posted something on the forum, but lately that trick doesn't even work.

**tazzinnc** · 11-07-2006

THINK I got a possible solution.

what firewall/anti virus are you using.. ??

It just hit me that my firwall and antivirus software might be preventing the chat to run..
I killed zone alarm and chat started right upt he first time.
After it got going, I restarted zone alarm and have no problems.

also found out zone alarm was blocking some pictures because they are hosted off a different site (3rd party) and I have zone alarm set to block that.. i forgot I had set it up that way

try killing your anti virus/firwaall software, start chat and see if it works.

**Depo** · 11-07-2006

I have tried it with the anitvirus and firewall both completely off and it still does not help.
