    chat freezes & crashes
    « on: August 22, 2009, 09:36:47 PM »
    Hi I hope someone can help me ? I suspect my problem could be that my imac is too old ?
    But it runs smoothly with everything else I do ... when ever I enter a chat room and not long after I begin chatting with someone the screen freezes & that colourful disc spins until the computer crashes. This happens each time I attempt to chat with anyone.
    This is a Mac OS X Version 10.1 & the processor is PowerPC G3. I hope that is enough information ? I hope that there may be a solution to this because it's the only thing that doesn't work well on my computer. Thank You. Van.

    What IRC client are you using?

      van,

      Have you checked to see if there's a newer version of mibbit for your OS?

      Also, You would be in a lot better shape if you were running OS 10.4

        I do agree with socrates post, try to update your mibbit, it should solve the problem
