chat room help

6 Sep 2009

Can anyone please help When I go into the chat rooms, I get the box with the conversations, but up above it is boxes with camera 1, 2 and so on but they are blank, I gathered from some of the conversations that there are members on web cam that they can see. Have you got to be invited to view the web cam or is my chat not working properly. Sorry to sound thick but this is all new to me. x confused

Under "Live cams" on the right at the top you should see some names click on one and select which camera box you want to see it in and they should appear.

Check your computer has the latest version of the Browser you are using (internet explorer should be version 8, Firefox Verion 3.5.2 - check by going to the help option at the top and select "about" )If it isn't again go to "Help" and select "check for updates"
Also check if you have the latest verion of Adobe flash (the program that chat uses to work)
Firefox version:

Internet explorer version:

You might have to reset your computer after the installation.
Also check that you haven't got Msn or messenger running at the same time - they tend to use a lot of computer memory (ideally your commputer should have over 1 gigabytes worth of memory....especially if it's running Vista rolleyes

)
The only other things I can think of that could be causing problems is your firewall (a program to stop nasty programs and viruses infecting your computer) is set up wrong - I can't advise on that as I don't know which one you are using sad

) or if you are using a wireless connection, your computer is either too far away from the router (the transmitter) or that it needs resetting (switch off and then on again....)
Hope that helps biggrin
