Trent, I had toubles at first too but I don't know what yours is doing. I had to download a java applete. But if you see your name w/ a star on it,to the right, than you are in there alone
When you download yahoo chat it asks you if you want to download voice chat software. If you say no and this does not download the chat wont work even if you dont have a micophone. I had this problem with one of my computers and after downloading the voice software it works fine.
Wooo,Wooo,Wooo
