CD-ROM Installation
Installation and Users Guide
How do I start the CD-ROM?
Load the CD-ROM into your drive. Viewing the contents of the CD-ROM requires you to have a
properly installed WWW browser, such as the Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. A more detailed
list of supported browsers is provided below. Open up the INDEX.HTM file on the CD-ROM with your
browser, and then explore to your heart's content. The entire contents of the CD-ROM are accessible
from this page.
How do I listen to the lectures?
If you haven't already, you'll need to install the Shockwave for Director plug-in. Currently, Shockwave is
supported only on Windows and Macintosh platforms, but keep checking Macromedia's website at
www.macromedia.com for updated information about other platforms. Make sure that after installing the
plug-in you restart your browser, or the plug-in will not be recognized. Copies of these plug-ins have
been included on the CD-ROM. Click here to select the plug-in appropriate for your system.
What hardware and software do I need for this plugin?
For Windows: Any modern PC computer will do, but a Pentium is recommended because of its floatingpoint
unit. Supported browsers include the Netscape Navigator 2.02 and 3.01, Internet Explorer 3.0 and
3.01 Final Releases, (note: Internet Explorer for Windows can use the Shockwave plugins or the
Shockwave ActiveX control, which can be automatically installed at http://www.macromedia.com),
Attachmate's Emissary, Netmanage's WebSurfer, and America Online version 3.0 (note: no plug-in
installation should be necessary for the AOL browser for Windows.)
For Macintosh: Any PowerMac will do, but 68k Macs will require a hardware floating-point unit (math
co-processor). Supported browsers include Netscape Navigator 2.02 and 3.01, Microsoft Internet
Explorer 3.0 and 3.0a, Attachmate's Emissary, Netmanage's WebSurfer, and America Online version 3.0.
Commercial versions of Netscape Navigator 3.x and Microsoft Internet Explorer may come with the
appropriate plug-ins already installed. If not, copies of these plug-ins have been included on the CD-
ROM. Click here to select the plug-in appropriate for your system.
