I have spent sooooo much time researching why I can’t get sound in the chatrooms. I almost think I’m onto something now…and maybe it is affecting your computers also. If you open Internet Explorer and go to Tools and to Internet Options to Advanced and scroll down to the next thing below HTTP1. Do you have anything there that ends in VM? As in Java Virtual Machine? If not, that could be your problem. I have XP Pro… got it in Jan 2004. If you go to Microsoft’s page on Java and check that out, I think that’s the problem. As of January, JVM is not available and it’s being phased out. So if you have programs that still need it to run, they won’t run properly. On that website it talks about downloading Sun Java, which I did in January to get into the old version of yahoo chat. I have my options set to use Sun, but it’s not doing the trick. Let me know if you figure your problem out. And good luck!~
AynotParticipantThe problem has nothing to do with your computer or your settings. It has to do with messenger not being compatable with XP. I have had XP for about 2 months. At first I could get it to work only with an older version of yahoo. Then that quit and it’s not working at all, and hasn’t been for weeks. When I go thru the wizard everything works fine. I can voice chat in an IM, just not in a chatroom. Go figure. I went to a yahoo help page and it listed out the operating systems that Messenger is compatable with and XP was not on the list. Yahoo needs to wake up and discover they are losing a lot of customers. If you’re interested in trying out an older version of Messenger, go to http://www.freecreed.com and in the search engine type in “messenger archive” and that should get you to the list of other versions.
