Hi there Lost1.
I guess it's the quote above that leads you to guess that XP is not supported ?
I'm not certain, but I assume that that text was written before XP was even heard of (who the heck has LESS than I.E. *4* these days !?!), and that XP can probably handle it fine.

However, to my astonishment, I've just confirmed your point. Using W98 I can use voice easily in Y!Groups, but using XP I simply get no voice controls showing.
Yet I've just been in a public Y!Group ("VoiceChat", "Chatterbox") chat room using my W98 and heard quite a number of people using voice - when I asked they told me they WERE on XP.... but just never told me how!

I wonder if maybe it works only with MS Java, and not with Sun Java ??
Anyway, *I*'d like to know the answer too now !!
