vista and chat

hi i tried to get into a chat site xp worked with, with vista the site

suggestion is this

<<SYMPTOMS:

If, when loading the chat room, the blue loading bar appears for a very long

time, and the chat room applet never comes up, the following may help you to

immediately resolve the problem. This problem is also associated with very

slow page loading using Firefox, and slow eMail sending/retrieval using

Thunderbird.

The following solution applies to Windows Vista users only.

SOLUTION:

The Windows Vista TCP Stack has been re-written. The following solution

appears to correct many internet-related issues with Windows Vista, and seems

to resolve the problem. There should be no negative effects from performing

the following but we have provided you with instructions for undoing this

should you feel it necessary.

Part I: Disable TCP Autotuning

Click the Start (Windows Logo) icon

Select 'All Programs'

Select 'Accessories'

Right-Click on 'Command Prompt'

Click 'Run as Administrator'

A dialog box will ask you to confirm. Click the 'Continue' button to proceed.

Type: netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled

Press 'Enter'

The message 'Ok.' should appear.

Type: exit

Part II: Empty your Java Cache

Visit http://www.addonchat.com/demo.html

The Java icon will appear in your task icon list in the lower-right hand

corner of your screen

Right-click the Java (coffee-cup) icon and select 'Open Control Panel'

Under 'Temporary Internet Files', click 'Settings'

Click the 'Delete Files...' button

A window titled 'Delete Temporary Files' will appear. Make sure all options

are checked and click 'OK'

Click 'OK' to exit the 'Temporary File Settings' window.

Click 'OK' to exit the Java Control Panel

Part III: Empty your browser's cache

Clear your browser's cache. Visit

http://support.addoninteractive.com/index.php?action=kb&article=2 for

complete instructions.

Shut down all instances of your web browser.

That's all. You may now try to load the chat applet. If you have any

questions regarding this procedure, please let us know.

This issue is likely to work itself out in the near future as future updates

of Windows Vista and Java are released to the public -- once these updates

have been released, your users will not be required to go through the above

procedure.>>
