The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Spike's World, version 1.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Spike's World's chat may not always run when you try to access it.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior occurs because Chat runs only during special times, which are
indicated on Spike's World.

RESOLUTION
==========

Currently, the chat hours are from noon to 4 PM Pacific Standard Time.

NOTE: That means that if you live in New York, which is on Eastern Standard Time,
Chat is open from 9 AM to 1 PM.
