You are using non-English OS. You type a message but
you could not see your message. You resize the window and two (local and remote)
windows becomes one.
Reason: These problem is caused by the incorrect font size. The default font
size is 12.25. However, the non-English OS may read it as 1225, which is way too
big for the system to display. Even when you resize window, the local window
will adjust the size to display the big font.
Solution: Just go to Tools - Options - Font and choose a 12 or 14 font size.
Why I got password even if I didn't setup a password?
(all)
Reason #1: The encryption of password is based on your date setting of your
computer. By default, the date format setting is dd/mm/yy (Canada/U.K.). If
you are using different date format, you will get a password decryption
problem.
Reason #2: The initial file (xchat.ini) is corrupted or it is not the
correct version.
Solution #1: You have to edit xchat.ini
file and change the Password Saved date format to match yours, e.g.
12/03/2003 -> 03/12/2003.
Solution #2: Delete both Password Saved and Level Password
data. When you start the program, enter xdrowssaPon
as password. Go to Tool - Security and to rest the password to empty.
Solution #3: Download a revised xchat.ini
which has Password Saved = 01/01/2003, which it should solve the locale
problem.
Solution #4: You can add/edit "Override Password=1" to override any
password settings. Password security has no effect until you remove this key.
The program asks for COMDLG32.OCX, TABCTL32.OCX or
RICHTX32.OCX. Where do I get these files?
(x Chat v2.8, x Reader v1.2)
Copy this file to Windows\System folder if you are running 9x\Me Or Copy
this file to Winnt\System32 folder if you are running 2000\XP.
In the command prompt,
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\REGSVR32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\COMDLG32.OCX Or
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\REGSVR32.EXE C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\COMDLG32.OCX
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\REGSVR32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\TABCTL32.OCX Or
C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\REGSVR32.EXE C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\TABCTL32.OCX
These are shared files with other applications. It is not recommended to
remove this file unless you are running out of space. You have to un-register
this file before delete this file. (REGSVR32.EXE -U COMDLG32.OCX) The only
exception file is PC1_CONTROL.OCX, it is required by x Chat only. However, you
still have to un-register it before removing it..
How do I convert between x Chat LE and full version?

When I input foreign language into x Chat, it appears as '?'. Why?

However, you may try to use third-party language program to input and view.
Can I upload this program to my home page? (All
versions)
Sure. It is recommended (but not required) to put a link to x Chat

Does everyone that I want to chat via this program have to download it?
(All versions)
Yes. See below "How
