Hi guys
Been on her a while now and for the last 3 days have been unable to access the chatroom.
Previously had no probs what so ever, and not sure what's changed if anything ?
I log in via the link on thr site and don't use mIRC, and when I've tried logging in lately all I get is a blank screen with what looks like a paint icon in the top left. Which if memory serves means I cannot access the function or its not being displayed correctly???
Whilst I'm no technophobe, this one has foxed me - any help greatly appreciated........
if you have not been in over the last few weeks.. u may not have realised that the chatroom now is registered names only.
there are a cpl of posts aroubd in the forum explaining what to do.. just look back over a few days/week and u will find lots of info.

maybe your best bet is to email one of the chatroom ops.....
... if anyone can help you...... it would prob be them!
It may well be that the java window is trying to connect you to the chatroom before the server has had the chance to verify your nickname and password. Does the screen tell you that your password has been accepted? If so type the following command:
/join #swingingheaven
If not then type:
/join #shhelp
This will put you into our help channel and if it's manned (we can't be there 24/7) then one of the ops will be able to help you out.

Thanks for the reply Steve
Don't even get to that bit, the screen is just blank without any of the logon prompts and just a small paint icon in the top left. As though all of a sudden I cannot run the programme associated with the chatroom.
Dunno what's going on, but the PC has been very very slow lately (even though I'm on broadband). Gonna defrag and run a virus scan just to see.
In addition to a virus check, it would also be worth checking for spyware and adware if your computer has suddenly become sluggish. and are two free programs which between them should get rid of any nasties lurking on your computer.
Also the broken "paint" icon sounds like a problem with java starting, so it might help to install the latest version of java available from
