Bill CornellIf you use the chatroom, my advice is to use whatever the latest Microsoft IE browser happens to be (currently IE 6).
The chatroom is run by a Java applet that refreshes at a periodic interval (10, 30 or 60 seconds). All browsers have difficulties with applets and will crash when they're running - there's no good way around it. IE 6 is the best bet because despite MS's fight's with Sun (Java's owner), it is the best browser available right now.
If you're using AOL or WebTV, you have a modified version of IE that is less reliable, but still better than Netscape (a dying AOL-owned product). I wish there was a good answer to this problem, but I've learned enough from my day job to state that IE is the best anyone can do right now.
