Operating System

Older Windows operating systems, including Windows NT / 98 / ME, will most likely work but are not officially supported. Please consult http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=lifesupsps to determine if your operating system is still supported by Microsoft.

Macintosh and Unix/Linux-Based operating systems
This presentation incorporates advanced multimedia features that allow elements such as slides, polling questions, surveys, and application demonstrations to be dynamically sent out and synchronized with the presentation. Certain standard browser plug-ins do not fully support these features in combination with Macintosh and Unix/Linux operating systems. Supported browsers with a properly installed Adobe Flash player plug-in (version 8+) will be able to view live and on-demand presentations streaming in Adobe Flash format. Not all presentations will feature this option, so alternatives include using the Firefox Web browser in combination with a properly installed RealPlayer plug-in. Please note: Presenters may not offer either option with the live Webcast.

² - The presentation is built on pop-up-less technology; however, the presenter may choose to use pop-up windows. In these cases, pop-up blocking software must be disabled for the presentation to work correctly.
