IRC chat on SE.net

I can't get anything to show up on IRC. It looks like it should be there, but all I get is an empty box. when I move my cursor into the box I get a message at the bottom left that says:

"load: class IRCApplet not found"

It just flashes there for a second or less. I am using the "connect from the site" button, tried to d/l trillian but I can't load it since I don't have Admin access at work. Anyone have any ideas?

If it's a work machine, it is likely that the IT guys turned off all java functionality that is not needed for internal apps. That would screw up the applet. Or it might be a problem on Fyron's end... he does always seem to be mucking around with things

What you can do is install Trillian on a computer you have admin on, and with a CD burner. Once Trillian is installed, you should be able to burn the progam folder to a CD and run from that, or at least you could with 2.0 version. Or if you have a portable hard drive (e.g. iPod), you can install somewhere else on that, then just run it off that drive.

I'm guessing there are severe restrictions on running java applets on the PC you are using.

That was the issue I had. Once security was adjusted the app ran fine. I don't use it that much, but it is cool feature of SE.net

I thought it might be something like that. If it runs off a USB drive I can do that. I'll give it a try. Thanks.
