Ok, I got into the chat room and was told that I should type at the bottom and then hit enter....there was no place to type at the bottom...I tried various things until the people in the chat room were getting frustrated with me for entering and re-entering...and told me so.

Help, I need a voice

download mirc

Look:



Maybe you can't see the text field where you have to type if you're using a small screen resolution. You should use 800x600 or bigger.

Anyway, if you're using your own computer (or are allowed to install things there) you should download and install mIRC, as Theo said. It's much better for join chats.

Thnx for the replies - I do have the 800x600 screen resolution but the window stops right after the messages from others in the room.  No place at all for writing messages.

I used the 'web chat module' which obviously doesn't work for some reason.  My OS is XP

I guess the only solution is to download the mIRC and mess around with that....on second thought not going to do that as it is shareware.  Any freeware programs that accomplish the same thing?

I mean THERE IS NO PLACE TO TYPE ANYTHING.......I cannot resize the window and I just got rude comments from people in the chat room becauz I am not answering them again.  There are threats to ban me...I tried to private message the person and I  the message box comes up but does not let me type anything.    Now I am totally frustrated!

calm down a bit...
you should try mirc...
can you take a screen shot?
anyway, I don't know why people want to ban you. if you just enter the chat, there isn't any problem. people there may say hello to you and if you don't answer they don't care and don't say anything more to you... but nothing more

Thx choi for your understanding  However, the people in the chat were saying that they were getting 'mad' (their words) that I kept entering and not saying anything and then the last time I was told that if I exit again without saying anything, they would be forced to 'ban' me.

mIRC costs $20 usd and I am not prepared to pay that for a program I use will use only for chatting here.  That is why I was wondering if there where any other IRC programs that were free that would work.

beacauz, you said you have XP, right? then maybe there's a problem with your java vm (microsoft's one is dodgy). You can also try to download and install the java virtual machine of Sun (the standar one). You can go to http://www.java.com/en/index.jsp and click "get it now". install it and try again.

Well I installed java and still no text area - to see what I get just go back to page one in this threat and take off the bottom area where the text goes - that is what I am getting.  I would see up to "<theo> w/e"

yep, when I installed XP (just 2 years ago)., microsoft removed the VM from its downloads and I installed the standar one (i had done that in any case). Well, the fact is that I've never had any problem with applets or java programs. In general, you should allways install standar things (drivers, etc..) and avoid MS ones

Well I apologise on behalf of the channel staff.. the reason why we warned you was because it seemed like you for join/part flooding the channel.

Also, could you please take a screenshot of the webchat and post it here, I'd like to help you get onto the support channel, thanks.

How do I take a screen shot and post it here?  I am new to XP, does it have a rip program or do I have to instal the one I had on the 98?

hit the print screen key at the right side of the f12 key in ur keyboard, then paste it to paint and save it...

Then when u are posting here u can attach a file
