AOL users need to have version 3.0 or higher of the AOL software to use Yahoo! Canada Chat. To find out which version you have, click your browser's Help menu and choose About America Online. If you do not have version 3.0, you can upgrade to the latest version free of charge. Simply go into AOL and choose keyword \"Upgrade\".
If you have version 3.0 or higher and Windows 95/98/NT or a Macintosh, simply click on a room name to enter Chat. If you use a different operating system, try choosing the HTML software rather than Java.
If your AOL browser is compatible and you still can't run the Java software, please check to make sure that your settings are correct.
