Its either

The plugin for your browser hasn't realised that its been updated and is still pointing to an old version that has now been removed Or...


It could just be that the chatroom software was written to run on an old version of Java, by installing a new version it stops working as it depends on what we call class files that are no longer part of the java language. (Java is a living language and constantly improves, the standard says that classes can be marked as deprecated which means they will be removed in the next version.
Its the newest version, its off the java website. I was really disappointed last night as there where loads of people in the chatroom and I couldnt get in could you just tell me which version YOU have thats allowing you to get in, and I'll just downgrade

I think my laptop is just being a pain because my cd drive is no longer reading discs, my mouse gave up on me, and i think i may even have some mmory failure and its a year old bloody laptop made by a leading motherboard manufacturer, I didnt quite expect it to be so damn annoying and unreliable
