Hi Jerry, I too had to recently switch browsers so I could start playing Live Chess. Internet Explorer kept needing to reconnect, so I tried Firefox first, and though I could get into Live Chess, my connection speed bar was still red for high lag. Then I tried Google Chrome and now it is usually green (no or low lag).
Here is the link to download Chrome: https://www.google.com/chrome
When installing there will be an option to make Chrome your default browser, just uncheck that or click no (I forget which way it comes up) and then Internet Explorer will still be your main browser. Just go to Chrome when you want to play chess! I hope that helps!

from reading stuff about Live Chess, I see that Internet Explorer is one browser that is NOT supposed to be used (or perhaps simply is not supported by the software). Anyway, anyone know how I can change from Explorer to a browser that will permit L.C. to work? (I wish to retain the services of Explorer also, if that is possible.
