The recommended web browsers for PC users are Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0 SP2* or later and Firefox 2.0 or later versions. Other web browsers are not supported and may not function properly.
Note: Windows Vista has not been QA tested yet. Although it may work successfully, we cannot recommend it at this time as we cannot guarantee optimal performance.
Both browsers are available as free downloads:
Get Mozilla Firefox http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
Get IE7.0 SP2 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
*Internet Explorer (IE) 6.0 SP2* is supported but we recommend upgrading to IE 7.
AOL and CompuServe (AOL/CS) software includes an integrated browser-like feature that does not provide full access to the Internet. Students MUST minimize the AOL/CS Browser once their Internet connection is established and open one of the supported browsers. Do NOT attempt to use the AOL/CS versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer.
You must download a separate, complete, independent version of Internet Explorer. This will alleviate frustration associated with many known problems caused by the AOL/CS quasi-browser and its inherent inability to access to a significant percent of the World Wide Web.
