Problems With Internet
Explorer Version 5
IE version 5 does NOT properly
display the graphics on some of the web pages. It will not display
the Sections Helpers and may leave out graphics on other slides. Please
upgrade to Internet Explorer version 6 to fix this problem.
Problems with Windows Media Player
Version 9
You may see video artifacts
(blotches) during play back when using Windows Media Player v9.
There is no resolution to this and it should not substantiality impact
the usability of the presentations. The
Broadband
Version does NOT have this problem.
If the audio doesn't'
play:
In order to hear the presentations Windows Media Player needs to download and install a driver (codec) from http://codecs.microsoft.com. WMP will try to do this automatically the first time you try to view a video.
When using Windows XP or Windows 2000 Workstation for this to be successful, you must be able to connect to the site (above) and you must be logged into your PC with an account with local administrator permissions (you must have permissions to install new programs on your computer.) If you cannot do either one of these, you will need to contact your network administrator.
Problems with
Windows Media Player & Netscape
LearntoSubnet uses an embedded Windows Media Player. By embedding
the player into a web page the presentation loads automatically when you
access the presentation's web page.
This feature works properly in all version of Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player.
However, it does work properly in all versions of Netscape. It
does work in version 4.0x of Netscape when using Windows Media Player
version 6.4. If you use any newer versions of Netscape or Windows
Media Player (7) the presentation will not load automatically. One
way to resolve this is to
use Internet Explorer version 6.
If you do use Netscape you
will need to start each presentation manually by clicking on this link
on each presentation page:
Netscape
Users -- Click Here to Start Presentation Manually
