Hi,
You need to download java by sun mirosystems and this will fix your java problem,and allow you to play chess at yahoo. Sun microsystems owns the rights to java,and sued Microsoft because they claimed java machine as theirs on their windows operating systems.
Sun Microsystems won the lawsuit,so in most instances java machine no longer works.Download java here:
http://www.java.com/en/index.jsp
I went to yahoo for some online chess but it wouldn't load,
an alert poppped up w/4 possibles reasons.
-1.firewall --- nop not that.
-2.connection not found --- nop not that.
-3
Anyways, turns out java (JVM) isn't on the XP.So
i went and downloaded it figuring its all good right.
NO ITS NOT
No more alerts ,But its like it half loads the applet.
I get this ,
Done, But errors on page.
message in the bottum left
corner of the applet,and the applet's grey with java
cup in top corner.

-I finnaly got rid of MSN and put google as my
homepage, if that matters
