News and Updates


November 2001

Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 & 5.5 SP2.
Microsoft have alterd the embed code, in IE6, which displays Quick Time movies.
Unfortunately if you are using IE6 when you click on the movie links it will not play the movie. This is only a problem with IE5.5 SP2 and IE6. If you are using IE5 which comes on the CD ROM or IE4 or Netscape you will not have this problem.
There is a fix for this problem -

Customers using IE5.5 SP2 and IE6 will need the Active X plugin to fix this problem..

To Check if you have the Active X Plug-in and if not restore compatibility please *Click Here*


You can also see the movies by using the Quick Time player itself.
Please follow these instructions.

1. Open the Quick Time Player.

2. With the CD ROM in the CD ROM drive go File/Open Movie. Navigate to your CD ROM drive. Open data/movies.
