Troubleshooting

Two main things are normally the culprit:

1. Your system does not have the Java Runtime Environment on it.
   Resolution: Click on the "Free Java Download" button at http://java.com/en/
   
   
   
   
2. Your system is not properly recognizing your Web-cam, microphone, or headset.

From there, a couple other items to be aware of:

Be sure that your system meets the system requirements:

Participant Requirements

• Java runtime environment
• Windows 2000+, Mac OSX 10.3+* or Linux**
• 128 MB RAM (256 MB recommended)
• IE 6.0+, Safari 1.2+, Firefox 1.5 - 2.0 (Browser must be Java and JavaScript enabled)
• Internet access at 56k or above

Presenter Requirements

  * Mac OS X 10.3 is not supported for Wimba Classroom 5.1.1+
