Teachionary problems and solutions

• Problem: My browser can't run applets.
  • Solution: Teachionary is a Java applet and thus requires an Java-capable browser with its Java applet capability enabled. Therefore you must install and use a Java-capable browser such as Netscape Navigator 3.0 or newer, and within your browser you must enable the use of Java. In Netscape 4.51, for example, the steps Edit::Preferences::Advanced::Enable Java will turn on Java.

• Problem: My system has less than a 256 color video driver.
  • Solution: Netscape Navigator requires a 256-color video driver to run Java applets. You must have a video display with that or better capabilities.

• Problem: My browser doesn't have the "enable Java" setting checked.
  • Solution: You might need to enable Java in Netscape Navigator. In another version of Navigator, the sequence is to select the "Options" menu, then the "Network Preferences" menu item, then the "Languages" tab page, and finally set the "Enable Java" checkbox.

• Problem: "Applet doesn't load" error message.
  • Solution: This error message seems to mean that the applet was not located where the web page thought it should be found. If you get this error please email teachionary@sprex.com and explain which language and word-set you were using when you got the error.

• Problem: I'm running Linux and Netscape Java on Linux has no audio output, so I can't hear any output even though it says it is playing the sounds out.
  • Solution: Geoffrey T. Dairiki has provided a way to fix this problem, by downloading a file, uncompressing it on your machine, executing "make install", and fixing your user environment so it knows where the fixes are. Go here and following the detailed installation instructions there. I just did and it worked for me!
