Hello,

I really hope someone can help me with this.


I have a new to me computer with Window's 98 SE, which is what I had before on my old system.  However, with the new system, all of the updates were downloaded along with INTERNET Explorer 6 with Service Pack.  I did not have this on my other system.

On my old system I was able to connect with a chat room that came from Hotconference.com, a voice, text, and video room.  I got it from my favorite, safest website. However, now I cannot connect.

I have UNINSTALLED and downloaded, many times.  I tried lowering security features.  I read one of the posts here, and followed the directions for the person who could not get videos anymore, and went to trusted sites and unchecked "required server verification" hoping this would do it, but it didn't.

I can download all updates to the "Conference Room" and I get to the point of signing in and connecting, but I get the message "your room's server cannot be found"

Can you help me at all?

Take care,
Flo



Flo ....have you read this ?

Hopefully it will help. Are you positive you have Win 98SE installed and not Win 98 ?

LET us know

dl65  Hello,

Yes, I have been to Hotconference.com and checked everything.  The only thing they say about "Your room's server cannot be found" is that it is a temporary disrruption.  However, this has been going on for two weeks.  I also e-mailed them and I got back"You need to reboot in "safe mode" if that doesn't work, there is something wrong with your computer.

Yes, I am sure I have Windows 98 SE, I checked my System and it shows W98 SE.

I could only think that it has something to do with the upgrades, so I uninstalled all of them.  But that didn't work either.

I was takling to the website OWNER I got the .exe file from, as I know him personally, and he couldn't figure it out.  He did say that it is not an Internet Explorer problem, it is something else, but he doesn't know what.

Any other help would be appreciated.

Take care,
FloHave you any firewalls?Hi,

I don't know if I have firewalls nor do I know how to look for them.

There is nothing showing on the desktop toolbar if that is any help.

FloHello again,

I'm thinking my only solution to the above problem is to clear my hard drive and reload Windows 98, my copy, and see if that works.  I won't have the upgrades but I didn't have them before and everything worked fine.

Only problem being I'm not sure how to do this.  Or if there is an easier way to load my copy of WIN98 SE ove what is already there.

Any suggestions ?

Flo
