IMPORTANT If your having trouble with the private messaging or
file transfer elements or getting a message that says your chat applet is not
compatible..............
Some of you are having problems with chat private messages and
dont get file transfer capability. This is because for some reason the Digichat
host has been loading an older version of the chat
applet.
To force
it to use the latest Chat applet, follow this procedure.
First, make sure you are NOT in the MTVZ Chat System,
If you are, log out first.
Next, load up your web browser ie Internet Explorer Then choose
the Tools menu and select the Internet Options... menu option Now press the
[Settings] button Then press the [View Objects] button In the window that
appears, click on the View menu and choose Details, Now look for the DigiChat
Applet icon (it may just come up as DigiChat...) in the list - if it DOES NOT
say 4,0,1,0 for the version, please DELETE the file.
Then re-enter the Chat system at MTVZ This will force
the Chat system to load the latest Chat version which is 4,0,1,0
Other problems you may be
having...........
The chat system at MTVZ is
reliant on your browser having Java support. Most browsers will have this but
if when you arrive at the chat system if you dont see a box to log in to then
your browser does NOT have Java
enabled.
You can get Java for your
machine free of charge for all platforms
HERE
Windows / IE5 users you can check you to
see whether Java was installed by following this
procedure.
Click
the 'Tools' button
Click 'Internet
Options'
Now click the
tabe marked 'Advanced'
Scroll down the
list and search for 'Java VM' heading.
You
should have both 'Java Console' and 'JIT Compiler for Virtual Machine' enabled.
If they arent click the boxes and restart. You will need the original IE5
install disk for this which is usually part of your Win95/98 disk OR maybe a
separate CD.
If
you dont have the disk then you will need to get a new version from the
Microsoft web site.
The
Java Applet......
When you first
log in to MTVZ chat you will be asked to accept a small download. This is the
actual applet that allows your PC function as a chat terminal you MUST accept
this download or you can't chat. The download is harmless to your PC and you
are not charged for online time other than normal internet connection
costs.
This is
absolutely NOT a dialler program or similar.

got problems - mail me here
