Not all is lost! The MS Internet Explorer ActiveX Control plugin will work on NT for chat. Can you load Internet Explorer and use it instead of Netscape? The Netscape plugin will not work with NT until the next version of the software comes out this September from ichat. Note, the problem Rick is refering to does not effect Windows (non-NT) PC and Macintosh users.

While we are on bummers (sigh...) The AOL browser does not support any plugin (or cookie) technology at all! To use a plugin on AOL you must download and install the Netscape browser. ichat has documented how that can be done for AOL users at http://www.ichat.com/download/aol.html

Even if you can not download and install the plugin software you can still participate in chat and the fun! The HTML form version will always work in all situations. The downside is that the interface is not nearly as powerful and nice as the plugin. If you are on a reasonably fast connection, you can select the Java Lite version which is a big step-up from simple HTML forms. The downside of Java is you have to wait a minute or two for all the Java code to download to your computer. Lastly, the original internet chat protocol (IRC) will work too. When you login choice the Java or HTML version of chat.

We know that the biggest downside to the chat system is the requirement that you download & install an extra piece of software. It is no different then any other application like Real Audio, Shock Wave, or wish to read Acrobat PDF files, or wish to be able to view a Microsoft Word document, etc. If you need help with the plugin please email me at technology@obgyn.net and I'll respond ASAP.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
