Browser Requirements

INTERNET EXPLORER 9 BROWSER
If you are experiencing a black screen, content loading or buffering, we need to set the Compatibility View for the browser.

To alleviate this issue, we need to set your browser to run in Compatibility View for our website.

Quick Fix - Select Tools or Hit F12 on your keyboard. A new window will open at the bottom of your screen. In the first menu bar of that new window locate "Browser Mode" click on that and select IE9 Compatibility view. Once complete Hit F12 or the close button on the window to exit.

MOZILLA FIREFOX BROWSER
The Firefox browser requires add-ons or plugs in to be enabled so that it recognizes components on your system.

Let's go to the Mozilla support center to resolve the issue:

To verify this, when on your toolbar select Tools then Options. You should see a selection of programs/plug-ins that are already installed (i.e. Realplayer, Windows Media Player, etc.) Please be sure you have Windows Media Player enabled. If you need further information - here is an additional link to discuss the Windows Media Player plug-in for the Firefox browser
