How do I configure my computer for Wimba Classroom?

To insure that your computer is ready for Wimba Classroom, first make sure you have the latest version of Java installed for your computer. You can download this for free from www.java.com

Next, make sure you have connected your headset (if you have one) and run this Setup Wizard

This wizard will test your computer system to insure it is ready for Wimba Classroom. Please note that if you have multiple pop-up blockers enabled you will need to allow pop-ups for each of them. This is usually the case if you have 3rd party toolbars installed such as Google, Yahoo or MSN. They can usually be located in the toolbar area of your Internet browser.

Before entering Wimba Classroom, please make sure that no other programs are active that could interfere with Wimba's ability to control your webcam, i.e. Skype, etc.

Please see Wimba Classroom's list of supported operating systems and Internet browsers.

Also, because Wimba relies on your Internet connection, it is recommended that you run the following tests from your computer to insure that your connection is performing adequately.
