why did yahoo ask me to down load java to chat?

Because they upgraded the site and it requires the latest java script. go to www.java.com to make sure you have the latest version.

There really isn't anything that I know of that u can do in java, but try not having the scripts embedded. It sounds like the computer can't handle so much info.

Alternatively try this link (which should take you directly - but slowly - into the "Anything Goes" room) \nhttp://games.yahoo.com/games/applet.html?room=pool_int_c&prof_id=chat_pf_1&small=no&size=800&follow=&nosignedcab=yes&clicked=yes\n(I use that almost daily, with never a problem).\n\nNow, if still any problem, first (of course) I assume you DO click the "Click here if applet fails to load" - AND you still wait a fair time, like literally 3 minutes ?\n\nIf so, I'd suggest perhaps your JAVA is wrong or absent. Check/update that here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml\n\nLastly, it would be real nice if you (Mr.Asker!) come BACK here, and either choose which answer solved your question... or if none, then Add Details to your question to explain why not and ask for MORE help !

Download the latest version of java\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=download+java\n\nmake sure you dont have junk running that you dont want. Click ctrl+alt+delete\n\n\nTrust me, switching to aol is doing yourself a disservice.

The Yahoo people are aware of this known problem and they are working towards it.  Their help page specifies you to use a Java version till the issue is sorted.\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/aa/mesg/twin/twin-26.html

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

Do you have a ybskin2.dll in the folder where you installed Yahoo! Messenger ( %programfiles% &#92; Yahoo! &#92; Shared )? It is the "Yahoo Skinning Object", needed by the Messenger.\n\nIf you do have it, it might have been corrupted (i have no idea what could have caused such a thing), so i suggest renaming it to something like "ybskin2.dll.backup", and getting the file from\n\nhttp://www.afreedll.com/dll/info/ybskin2_dll-1.html\n\nor an older version from\n\nhttp://www.afreedll.com/dll/info/ybskin2_dll.html

First you have to go to http://java.com/en/ and click the 'download now' button. Then install it and finally pick a place to chat.
