If when you try to enter a chatroom, you get repeatedly bounced back out, take the following steps.

  1. With Internet Explorer open press Alt-T followed immediately by the letter O.

  2. Next do a single Shift-Tab. This will place you in the Tab Controls and the heading will say General.

  3. Now use the Right Arrow to move to the Advanced setting. This is as far to the right as you can go.

  4. Now Tab once, this will place you in a tree view with many items in it.

  5. Down arrow until you find an item that says "Empty Temporary Internet Files Folder when browser closes." You can toggle this item on and off by pressing the space bar. When the item is on, a screen reader will say something like "On" or "Checked".

  6. Next locate the Apply button with the Tab and press Enter on it. If there is no Apply button just press Enter on Ok.

  7. If there is an Apply Button than be sure to press Enter on the Ok Button before exiting and closing the browser.

You are now finished and from now on each time you close Internet Explorer it will empty the Temp Folder. We have found this to usually help with the problem of getting into rooms.
