Thanks, Mark
My computer is a Compaq presario 5222, a pc that's 5 or 6 years old. It runs Windows 98. I connect to the internet through AOL. Then I use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 to get to Haines His Way. When I first started coming here (in the spring), I could chat on this computer; everything worked fine. Now whenever I go to the chat room, I don't see the usual blanks to fill in your name, but rather a big blank space with one of those odd something-should-be-here-but-isn't icons in the upper left corner. You know the ones: a rectangle with three shapes within it.
