To skip chapters during play, press the next SKIP >>I button on the DVD player, it moves to the next chapter/track. Press the l<< button on the player to go to the previous chapter/track. Top

Repeating a chapter/track Most DVD players will automatically play a selected segment over and over until you press a the play button again. If this is occuring on the introduction please push play on the player. If this persists consult your owners manual to your DVD player. Top

No sound or distored sound Usually this is your DVD player or your computer. Please check your owners manual. Often times the speakers are not attached or are turned to off. Top

The picture is frozen If a button is pressed too fast over and over, the signals may jam the circuits in your DVD player or computer. To restore to normal on DVD player try pressing STOP button and open the disc door to reset the circuits. Also, you may try another computer to make sure the DVD player is compatible with the disc type. If on your computer try REFRESH or RESTART. Top

Cleaning discs Before playing, make sure the disc is clean. If not, clean the disc with a cleaning coth. Wipe the disc in a straight motion from the center out to the edge. DO NOT use SOLVENTS such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs. Top

Handling the disc Do not touch the playback side of the disc, this may cause playback problems. Do not scratch the disc. DO NOT store discs in a place subject to direct sunlight or near heat sources. Top

Fuzzy Graphics Sometimes, especially with large documents (EHT's Newsletter/Magazine) Graphics/photos may look a little fuzzy. This is because to open the large document in a quicker time the photos are compressed. If you are an AOL user, The AOL web browser includes some settings that may cause some of the pictures you are viewing to look fuzzy. AOL automatically compresses ANY picture you wish to see. The logic behind AOL’s decision is that most people care more about how long it takes for a page to load than the quality of the images. Top

VISTA: Warning POP UP messages when I put my CD in my computer (VISTA and others) Many security systems for computers, especially Vista, refered to as USER ACCESS CONTROL (UAC), and many other programs will flash a warning if the CD or even the DVD is not recognized as a Native or recognized entinty. Vista has a great Media Center and usually no problmes with autostarting DVDs… but CDs are a different story. VISTA security system will alert you when an unauthorized program tries running on your PC. This lets you control which programs have access to your computer. With it, you can stop malicious programs before they do any harm.W Unfortunately even if you know the program will not harm your system Vista will stop the instullation so when you put the CD into the computer a POP UP WINDOW appears asking to autoplay. Press Allow to activate the CD. Then you may get a POP UP message that says this may harm your computer. Do you want to continue. PRESS YES TO CONTINUE> This message is only displayed because Microsoft is telling you this is not a file Microsoft recognizes. You will click accept or allow (the cd will not harm your computer) then you may see a pop up message that says DO YOU WANT TO REINSTALL or WAS PROGRAM INSTALLED CORRECTLY. Clik the command that indicates the program was installed PROPERLY/CORRECTLY. Then the CD will play. These steps are a result of Microsoft due to the nature of CDs. Not due to EHT. NOTE: With CDs open the course by bypassing the AUTORUNPRO.exe. Vista is blocking the AUTORUNPRO.exe and therefor ethe videos will not display. You can open the video clip or the course by going to MY COMPUTER or COMPUTER (VISTA). Right Click and open the EXPLORE or OPEN command. Then click WELCOME. The course should begin to play. If after following this your CD still does not play refere to AUTOPlAY FAQ. Also look at VISTA SECURITY SYSTEM Top

VISTA SECURITY SYSTEM: I can't view course without the USER ACCESS CONTROL (UAC) activating You could turn UAC on and off as you need it. To do this, go to the Control Panel, and select User Accounts. Then click User Accounts again. Then "Turn User Account Controls on or off" button. This is an option for less experienced users. But there is a big downside. You must reboot every time UAC is turned on or off. This takes a lot of time. In fact, it could be more annoying than the alerts themselves. More advanced users could turn UAC off permanently. This is done in the same manner as before - Control Panel >> User Accounts >> User Accounts >> Turn on or off. The risks This strips away one of Vista's security features. You will not receive warnings of downloads, even secret, malicious ones. If you go this route, be sure your security programs are updated. If you have numerous security programs on your site you will most likely be safe. Also always keep Vista updated. Rather than shut UAC down, There is another solution-TweakUAC. (SEE LINK BELOW) This free program allows you to put UAC into quiet mode. In quiet mode, User Account Control is still running. Plus, you can turn quiet mode on or off without rebooting. REMEMBER that VISTA UAC is for your protection. If you take away this feature or keep on quiet mode you will not be warned of potentially harmful activity. Not recommended but an option. Tweak Link Top

VISTA: MY CD and/or BASICS and BEYOND course will not play the videos but I can view the text. If you have a VISTA you may experience this situation. AUTORUNPRO.exe works but VISTA over-rides the program not allowing the Videos to display. Hence, video will not run when the couse is activated via AUTORUNPRO.exe. You will need to bypass AUTORUNPRO.exe by one of two ways: 1). Load your CD into the CD drive on your computer. When the command askes you to select either AUTORUNPRO.exe or GENERAL OPTION to view the folder, you will CHOOSE the GENERAL OPTIONS. Click on Welcome and begin viewing your course. 2). From the start menu click on COMPUTER. Go to the CD DRIVE and RIGHT CLICK THE CD ICON. From there open the EXPLORE or OPEN Command. Next click on WELCOME. Now you should be able to view the videos and/or your course. If you continue to have difficulty read VISTA, VISTA SECURITY SYSTEM. Top

Is your DVD or online course Compatible with Apple MAC computers? Our DVD’s are 100% compatible with all DVD players whether stand alone or computer based. In the rare (very rare) case when someone has a problem playing our DVD’s on a computer it is either because of a defective DVD player or because a DVD software player and/or the mpeg2 codec is not installed (very rare). Software players and the aforementioned codec come standard with DVD hardware, so, it has probably been inadvertently uninstalled. Reinstall the software that accompanied the DVD portion of your computer and it should solve the issue.The original DVD software would be something that the manufacturer of their computer would provide either in a hard format (disc/s) or online for them to download. Our online courses are compatible with almost every computer configuration and in most cases play immediately without any thought to technology on the part of the viewer. However, to minimize any possible issues we highly recommend using either Internet Explorer (IE) or a Mozilla based browser like Firefox. If you are having any problems viewing the videos in any browser, please install any necessary plug-ins for your Operating System and/or Browser necessary to play Windows Media content. Currently Apple provides no path for viewers on the I-phone, I-pod or I-pad products to view our movie content; however you can view the EBOOK text portion only but not the flash videos embedded in the text ebook PDF. If the I-phone, I-pod or I-pad is your only choice for streaming you should choose the DVD option to view our courses. Commitment to Excellence: Consistent with our commitment to providing forward looking, cutting edge delivery of our superior content, during the next 24 months Exploring Hand Therapy/ Treatment to Go will be conducting an orderly transition to the latest specification for cross platform compatibility - HTML5 . This upgrade is universally believed to provide (among other benefits) the ultimate answer to streaming media delivery, working directly in browsers without plug-in, regardless of their branding or configuration (including Apples I-Family product line). This standard is built into all of the latest and upcoming browsers, In order to service people with less updated software the current content delivery system will remain in place until we deem all viewers are able to access the HTML5 compatible content.
