Required Software for your Computer
In order to view the full interface replay of the webcast,
we recommend that you use Netscape Navigator 3.01. You will need the
Progressive Network's RealPlayer 4.01 to listen to live internet audio.
- Netscape Navigator - for viewing slides
- RealPlayer - for internet audio
If you have already installed the RealPlayer on your Macintosh or
PC-compatible, please make sure it is at least version 4.01. Earlier
versions of RealPlayer will cause errors. The RealAudio player is an
earlier product now superceded by RealPlayer on PC compatibles running
Windows95 or NT, and on Macintosh PowerPC models.
You can test internet audio playback by going to the
test page. This will automatically check
that you have the right stuff and offer you a replay of a similar style
of conference talks.
There is a known problem between RealPlayer and Netscape Communicator
on the Macintosh in relation to plugins and JavaScript. Progressive
Networks (makers of RealPlayer)
and Netscape are working on a solution. In the meantime, MAC users should
stay with Netscape 3.01.
Download
Decide which version of Netscape Navigator you need to download.
Netscape 3.01 (for Windows95 or WindowsNT)
Netscape 3.01 (for Macintosh PowerPC or 680x0)
Netscape is a product of Netscape Inc.
Follow the link for more information about Netscape and their products.
Installation - Windows users
The file you download will be a compressed .exe file containing
the setup files for Netscape 3.01. You should not download this file to
the directory containing your current running version of Netscape Navigator.
When you download you will be given the opportunity to change the directory for
the downloaded file.
Once you download this file, you need to extract the Nestscape setup files.
To do this, run the .exe file. You can do this in several ways. For
example, you could double click the filename in File Manager or Explorer, or run
the program at the MSDOS command prompt.
Once you have extracted the files, run the file setup.exe
(one of the extracted files) to install Navigator.
The Setup program will ask you for the target directory for the
installation. If you want to use your existing bookmarks, preferences, and
settings,
you can install Netscape Navigator into the directory of your current
Navigator (be sure to quit your current Navigator).
You will be prompted to restart Windows. You can wait until you have
installed the other required components before restarting Windows.
Installation - Macintosh users
Before you download Navigator, take note of the folder to which you are
downloading Navigator. The default location is your Macintosh desktop. You
should not download your new version of Netscape Navigator into the same
directory as your current version of Navigator. You can change the default
download directory by selecting General Preferences item from the Options menu,
and changing the Downloads Directories on the Applications tab.
The compressed file that you download will extract automatically. If you are
unable to unpack the downloaded files, you should use Stuffit Expander.
The installer will appear in your target folder. Double-click the installer.
It will prompt you for an installation folder. The default folder is called
Netscape. If you install into the Netscape folder that contains your current
version of Navigator, your old version of Netscape Navigator will be
overwritten, but you can still use your existing bookmarks, preferences, and
settings.
Download
Decide which version of the RealPlayer you need to download.
RealPlayer 4.01 (for Windows95 or WindowsNT)
RealPlayer 4.01 (for Macintosh PowerPC)
RealPlayer is a product of Progressive Networks.
Follow the link to go to their site for further information on RealPlayer.
Installation
When you have downloaded the file, run it to set up the RealPlayer helper
program for Netscape.
Click on one of the links above to begin downloading. Your Web browser
should launch a helper application to convert the downloaded file into an
executable application. Simply double-click on the application to install
RealPlayer. You can probably use all the default settings suggested.
Macintosh users
This software should be used on a PowerPC based macintosh with
Mac OS 7.5.x or later. The audio stream does not act well with
MacTCP, so your Mac should have OpenTransport 1.1 or later.
You may also need to install the Apple Sound Manager v 3.1.
in your System Folder if it's not already there.
Note: There is a known problem with using RealPlayer 4.01 with Netscape
Communicator on the Macintosh. You should use Netscape 3.01. Progressive
Networks (who make the RealPlayer) and Netscape are working on a
solution.
You can test internet audio playback using the Full Interface
