Microsoft Support Web Site
 

 

 
If you're having difficulties viewing parts of this web site, please read the information on this page.  You'll likely find an answer to your problem.

This web site was developed to function and look as best as possible with all the various computers that access the web.  There's numerous differences between computer operating systems, web browsers, browser settings, computer screen resolution settings, and the speed at which your computer connects to the Internet.  All these things effect how this web site may appear on one computer verses another.

Below are brief explanations and possible solutions to problems that some web site visitors may experience.

bulletThis web site incorporates a feature that allows it's web pages to automatically resize themselves.  This is done so that regardless of your computer screen resolution setting, the web page will appear as presentable as possible with a minimum amount of scrolling left to right on particular pages.  This web site looks and functions best with screen resolutions set to the most popular settings of 800x600 as well as 1024x768.  Screen settings of 640x480 may require some left to right page scrolling.  In addition, the web site was developed to function best with Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.  Prior versions of Internet Explorer as well as other web browsers such as Netscape and Apple's Safari should function properly as well.  There are minor differences in how this web site will appear in different web browsers.
 
bulletBesides making sure your computer speakers are on, if you're unable to play the mp3 audio samples on the discography page, your web browser is not configured to play audio files or your computers audio player is not configured to play mp3 files.
 
bulletThis website uses Active X controls to display some of it's cool features.  If your using Internet Explorer and your security settings are set to "High", Active X controls will not be allowed to run. A security setting of "Medium" will resolve this issue.  To change this setting in Internet Explorer, select "Tools" from the top toolbar.  From the drop down menu, select "Internet Options...".  Select the "Security" tab.  Change the security slider bar in this window to "Medium".  Then choose "OK".  You may need to close Internet Explorer and reopen it for this change to work properly.
 
bulletIf you're seeing empty boxes or boxes containing a red "X" throughout various pages on this web site, and the word "Java" in the boxes on this web page, you're missing out on some of this web sites cool features.  If all is working properly, you should see changing pictures in the square box located on the right hand side of this page directly under the "Site Help" button.  You should also see moving text messages directly above the blue text on this page.  If it's not working properly, then your web browser's Java features are not functioning properly.  The main causes for this problem is as follows: 
 
  1. Your web browser might have it's Java features turned off.  In more recent versions of Internet Explorer, those settings are usually found by selecting "Tools" then selecting "Internet Options" in the menu.  Click on the "Advanced Settings" tab and scroll down until you see a setting that mentions Java or under the Microsoft VM section, the JIT compilier.  Make sure the box is checked.  If you don't see either of these continue reading the rest of this section.
     
  2. Older computers with Windows 95 often don't have a Java enabled browser.  There's a special version of Sun's Java engine to run on Windows 95.  Click here to get it for free.  Be sure to read all the information on the page to make sure you download the correct version.
     
  3. Your web browser might not have a Java component installed with it.  Due to a law suit settlement between Sun Microsystems and Microsoft, future versions of Internet Explorer will not come equipped with the Microsoft virtual machine (Java engine).  You can download and install the Sun Java engine for free by clicking on the Java logo below.

   

The Java issue described above is a problem that's affecting many web sites across the internet.  However, most new computers now come with the Sun Java engine preinstalled.  As web technology continues to evolve, this web site will likely go through some changes to continue offering the "cool" looking features to it's visitors.  These changes will always be decided upon by balancing the concept of staying current with web software technology while being able to present features of this web site to visitors that may use older and somewhat outdated computers.
