Ok, thanks for the explanation.
Now riddle me this - why cannot I not access chat if I'm just going in via plain IE browser? It tells me I have to have latest Java installed, I install it, try to acess chat & get the same message. The only way I can access chat is if I go in through the AOL IE browser.
Cheers.
