Which version of IE are you all using?  I've just tried it in IE6 and it still works for me fine.  Sorry  ;D

Hi Kerry - I used one of the latest IE6s - It has the Java removed due to agreements between MS and Sun and it doesn't work for anything - not just RootsChat

On my laptop which has an earlier IE - everything works - except the hard disk is about to die & crashes every couple of hours - hence the new machine!  I long for the days when you bought an operating system & if one machine died it was perfectly legal to load it on the new one - Should still be legal - I'm not a fan of MS and their continual upgrades etc etc

Oomm how odd, I'm using an updated IE6 too.  How very strange.  :-\ :-\

I'm no fan either, MS keep trying to download updates to Outlook Express onto my machine, I haven't used Express in years - go away  >:(

I have a little free firewall that stops all that nonsense - I especially like seeing Adobe acrobat reader hitting its little update head against my firewall  ;D  ;D  ;D
