I have cleared my cookies several times.
I am not very computer savy but am fairly certian I have the latest java updates. Is there a way to check to see if I have what is needed for chat ? I am not even getting it to open to get kicked off.

I have 2GB of ram, so that should not be what is causing my problem.
I dont have any other programs open....
my 'other' junk...uses batteries ( sorry couldnt resist that )
