Make sure that your browser's Java feature is enabled. For Netscape Navigator, enable Java by clicking "Options", "Network Preferences", "Language". Make sure the "Enable Java" checkbox is checked. For Microsoft Internet Explorer, enable Java by clicking "View", "Options", "Security". Check the "Enable Java programs"checkbox.
If you are running Netscape 2.0 or higher on Windows 3.1, you probably don't have the needed Java to make the page work. Windows 3.1 users can use Netscape 3.01 Beta with Java for Windows 3.1.
MAC users must use MS Internet Explorer 3.01b , or Netscape 4.0 - it will not work reliably with Netscape 3.0.
If your browser is not Java enabled you will not see the chat room but get a message 'Sorry your browser is not Java enabled'
See the ParaChat F.A.Q. page for more details.
