What Version did you install?  Have you read the comment to the last stable release on dnn.codeplex.com?  Have you tried the beta?

Hi 

I have tried this 

To apply this workaround, you need to edit DesktopModules\Chat\DnnChat.js:

  • Go to line 59. The preceeding lines should be: 
    function receiveChatMessage(result, context) { try {
  • Paste the following: 
     // WORKAROUND: MSXML is choking on a lead character that we're getting. // So strip off anything before the opening '<' while ((result.length > 0) && !(result.charAt(0) == '<')) { result = result.slice(1); } 
    
    
    And I am still getting getting the same error message http://designwebsites.co.nz/Home.aspx

 Hi Angiline,


what Browser did you use?  I tested with I.E 9 and it looks as the Chat Module worked.  Please tell me also the DNN Version and Chat Verion you are using.


Thanks
