This problem didn't occur with version .8 or .9, but started happening when I
upgraded to .91.   Before installing .92 I uninstalled all the previous versions
using the Windows "add/remove software" tool ... so this one was a fresh install
... and the problem still occurs.

Is this Chat using Java?

Comment 3

[Bill Heiser]

Yes, it is.  When the "connect now" box opens, it shows the java logo in
a section near the bottom, and says "loading".   This appears to complete
successfully.  Thanks!

I just tried this with .93, and the problem did not occur!
