Hands-Online

Post by glenndemers »

Can anyone help me?
I've signed up for the live Hands-Online on the 29th and when going to the test page I can not get it to work.
I have latest Adobe Flash Player, Windows Media Player 11 and newest IE

I just visited there. I do not get the video to work either, but everything else is working. Try to run your "arrow" over the numbers on the bottom of the "blackboard"... there are numbers 1 thru 5 and each one will change the blackboard to a different view. Also, if you enter a message into the empty box next to your guest number, and push the submit button, your message should appear in the dialog box above it. I just typed "testing" and it worked fine. The first time that I visited the test page, I had the same results. When I attend the actual sessions, it works fine.

If you push the "play" button, during that "one second" that you see something, I only see the phrase "locating media" and then nothing. Is that what you see?

Yes that is all I see also! So that will work when the time comes?

I think that it will be alright, but I am no expert:eek: . You could try watching an archived session. You should be able to view that movie, and then I would think that everything is alright. I actually have better luck participating in the live session than I do watching the archived ones. The archived ones tend to lock up while they are "buffering" for me.

Also, like I said above, the test video never worked for me, but the live sessions have worked fine.
