- If
you are an AOL customer and you use the AOL
browser, you will have difficulty using Blackboard for Internet
courses. Instead, connect to the Internet with AOL as you usually do,
minimize your AOL browser screen as shown below, and then open Internet
Explorer and use it to connect to your course:
If
Internet Explorer is already installed on your computer, check the
version. Open Internet Explorer and click on the "Help" menu at the top
of your screen. Then click on "About Explorer" to see your version. (Click
here
for a demonstration.) As of July 2004, the latest version is 6.0, SP1.
If you do not have Internet Explorer (IE), follow the next steps.
- Click
here
to download the latest IE browser.
- Then
check your screen resolution. Minimize all of your
open programs by clicking on the "minus" button in the upper right
corner of all open programs until you return to your opening desktop
screen (the one with icons on it) and then click your right mouse
button on any space on the screen (not on an icon). On the menu the
appears, click on "Properties." Then click on the "Settings" tab at the
top of the Display Properties dialog box.
- If
you are using a 15-inch monitor, your "desktop area" should be
set at 640 x 480 with the highest "color palette" setting that your
system will support.
- If
you are using a 17-inch monitor, your "desktop area"
should be set at 800 x 600 with the highest "color palette" setting
that your system will support.
- If
you are using a 19-inch monitor or larger, your "desktop
area" should be at the largest setting (1024 x 768) unless you like
larger images on the screen. If so, choose 800 x 600. In any case, use
the highest "color palette" setting that your system will support.
- To
view the latest version of the pages on any Internet
site, click the Refresh icon at the top of your browser screen. You can
also click your right mouse button on any blank space on a Web page and
then click "Refresh" on the menu that appears.
- If
you have disabled Javascript or style sheets you will not be able to
fully appreciate an Internet Web site's design.
- With
Internet Explorer, click on
Tools/Internet Options/Accessibility to make sure you have not
checked any boxes.
- With
Netscape, click on
Edit/Preferences/Advanced to make sure that you have
checked these boxes:
_
Automatically load images
_
Enable Java
_
Enable JavaScript
_
Enable style sheets
- Be
sure that you do not set your security preferences
to high. Doing so will prevent your computer from storing "cookies,"
thus preventing you from viewing every page in your Internet course.
