Yahoo Chat

Wow, it's been forever since I've been on this site. I miss it. Anyways...

OK, I am totally stumped. When I am using yahoo chat 2.0, i cannot send PM's to anybody. I 'can' chat on the big group/main pages with everybody and 'recieve' personal messages, but I cannot send them back. It does the same thing on both computers in my house (one is XP, one is win2000). When I open the java console, anytime i try to send a message, I notice that I get a java exception saying some class isn't found. This made me think it was a java problem. I reinstalled java like 15 times, each time installing a different version, and using all kinds of methods to remove the previous version....I did nearly everything I could think of! Nothing changed. I tried reinstalling my web browser (IE6). I tried uninstalling ZoneAlarm (out of despracy, obviously). Could it maybe be in my router for some weird reason? I checked setting and everything should be ok...I dont know any reason why my router wouldnt let me send a java message. Google searching has not helped at all. Hopefully someone will have an idea...?

Suns or msjavax86?

tried both. msjava is clearly out of date. I uninstalled all and tried it anyway....haha...it wouldnt even load the main chat room. Suns is on now. 1.4.2

I use the same sun one. And have no probs .
But im not a user of the yahoo chat either.
Maybe hold on a bit to see if anyone else jumps in
with som inputs.

I have no other problems with java at all. I've gone to numerous "check your java" websites which just test your Java to make sure it's configured properly and working. It passes all of these! This is what kind of makes me think it's not truly a java problem (but then again, there are all those exception that are thrown...hmmm...and on both of my computers). Yahoo requires the sun java and even links you to the sun site to update you to the newest version automatically. And when the sun installer gets done, it tests it and says 'successful and working'.
