Problem: Unable to download software into my computer.

Possible Solutions:

1. Check your Internet security software settings to allow downloads:

• for Vista & XP; start-control panel-security settings and/or parental controls.


• If you run a separate firewall program like Norton or Zone Alarm-check those settings as well.

2. Check your IE preferences. In Internet Explorer, go to Tools-Internet Options.

Windows Help & How To on:

• Downloading Files & Internet Explorer
  


• Windows Vista: Internet


• Tips for solving problems with Internet Explorer

3. Try installing and using another browser program. (Firefox or Safari is what I recommend. Both are free & easy to use.)

• Firefox Browser


• Safari Browser

If you don't have either already on your machine and are unable to download files, then:

• Go to another computer (friend or work pc) and download the browser software-burn to cd or thumb drive-then take cd & install on original computer. This will allow you to download files through a new browser as a "work around" since your current browser is not functioning properly.


• Download Firefox Browser-Standalone Versions (can be burned to cd or saved to a thumb drive)

Mac Tip: Confusing Mac Symbols

If you just got a Mac, this should be quite helpful. The chart below shows the Mac keys and corresponding symbols.

Tip: Taking a Picture of your Desktop

(Screen capture keyboard shortcuts for Windows & Mac users.)

On a Mac:

Want to take a quick picture of your desktop:
COMMAND KEY + SHIFT + 3

Want to take a picture of a specific section of your desktop:
COMMAND KEY + SHIFT + 4
(A cross hair will appear as your mouse pointer, then highlight your selection.)

These are great for making screenshots for websites and the .png files are saved right to your desktop.

For Windows:

Press your PrintScreen/PrtSrn button (normally located at the top right of your keyboard).

It copies an image of your screen onto the "clipboard" ready to paste into any graphics program or even into a Microsoft Office document (you will want to crop the image).
