  • I am having problems; why can't I view the video?

  • Answer:

    This site uses pop-up windows to display each lesson module. If your software is set to block pop-ups, then you will have trouble accessing these resources.

    The web browser you use (Windows Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) to access this site determines the different ways that pop-up blockers are used.

    Many web browsers have a built-in toolbar with pop-up blocker options, including Internet Explorer 7, or FireFox. You may also have other toolbars installed (such as Google or Yahoo Toolbar) or other pop-up blocker software installed on your computer.

    To avoid problems, consider this a trusted site, and therefore set your system to allow pop-ups.

    To adjust the pop-up blocker settings on Internet Explorer 7, click Tools, Pop-up Blocker, and then Pop-up Blocker Settings if you see a small window appear at the top of your browser with the message "Pop-up blocked. To see this pop-up or additional options click here...,", click on the link, then click on the message and select the option "Always allow pop-ups from this site."

    If you use another web browser, the Help section of your blocking software will tell you how to allow pop-ups. If your firewall or security software covers a network instead of just your computer, consult your Network Administrator for assistance.

  • What happens if I forget my password?

  • Answer:

    When you register for the first time, you establish your own username and password. This site also provides a helpful "Forgot My Password" feature; we will email you the password you already setup. You must have entered a valid email address when you initially registered in order to use the "Forgot My Password" function.
