Yes, it's a program to makes things interactive.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=download+java

seems like you have to download Sun Java\n\nwww.java.com

If you have java support in your web browser you can use the built in java chat that yahoo provides.\n\nYou can use also console clients, as (http://www.larvalstage.com/zinc/).

This is easy.  You don't have a JVM (Java Virtual Machine).  You can't see the java applets.  Go to java.com or Sun Java and download a JVM.  Then change your settings to what it recommends at the sites Troubleshooting or FAQ page.

You need to enable it first.\nThen you have to restatrt your computer.\nI assume you already downloaded it?\n\nGo to your "tools" menu, then to the "advanced" tab, now scroll down till you see "Java". check the box to enable it.\nNow restart....PRESTO!

You have not provided enough detail to work on.\n\nFirst check your firewall settings. change them as required to enable chat features. \n\nInstall java from http:/www.sun.com/java

From the browser select Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab.  Scroll down the settings list until you see Microsoft VM, then select either the following tick boxes:  Java console enabled (requires restart); Java logging enabled; JIT complier for virtual machine (requires restart).\nPress ok.

Try to allow more bandwidth to chat program... your connexion should be less used... \ntry not to download while your chatting.. navigation doesn't matter..\nThese are simple hints that should work if you haven't software/hardware problems...

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 !

Go to tools/internet options/advanced,   and take the 3 check marks out of "Microsoft VM"(Java)/apply/ok,   then  Tools / internet options/ advanced -\nCheck  "enable third party browser extensions" \n (requires a "MUST"  immediate restart)      ......   Then download java.sun and  Install the latest version of sun Java.\n\nDownload Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition 5.0:= http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp\n  = http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp\n\n   then go to tools/internet options/ advanced, and put a check mark in Java(sun)/ apply/ ok/ok/ restart.   (Don't overlook both restarts) .  ......  . .   Also go to:    tools/internet options/security/custom level/Java permissions/high or medium safety/ok/yes/ok

You need to have some software installed called "Java runtime".  The chat servers on Yahoo! need the Java language to run the screens.  It can be downloaded for free from here:

You can get the latest version of the JRE (Java Runtime Environment), which is what its asking for, directly from Sun Microsystems, the creators of Java:\n\nhttp://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

I found Chat-o-licious the other day http://www.electricdiary.com/chat-o-licious\n\nFrom the website:\nChat-o-licious is a proof of concept web-based chat application that uses an AJAX based browser client and a bare bones ASP.NET based chat engine.\n\nThe source code is available from the website. You need a subversion browser to download the code. I have not done it so I cannot verify it's contents.\n\nBest of luck!
