Answer 1

I've had the same problem before, except in the opposite direction. When I had dialup I could see the yellow line, but clicking it had no effect. When I upgraded to DSL it went away totally, but the administrator became super-conscious of hackers and viruses, so disabled cookies which means I still can't do chat rooms (grr).
Try installing the Windows XP patch, because the size of secondary popup windows is not a Java problem, it's an XP problem. If that doesn't work, try installing an overlay platform OS on top of XP for your chat experiences. Something with improved interpretation of Java Applet codex (Java is sending the signal to windows to open a new window, and this instruction is sometimes faulty, but sometimes the pupil doesn't listen properly).
