Open Traffic School - Technical Requirements

  Is our system "compatible" with your system? Can you take our course with
  a dialup connection? What type of browser can you use? Do you need to
  download any special software? Make sure your computer won't make you
  crazy during your e-learning traffic school experience with us:

   Dial-up connections - YES, you can use a dial up connection! Our system
  does NOT require downloading any large multi-media files, so don't worry if
  you're on a dial-up connection.

   At-work firewalls - YES, you can take our California course from work!
  (Does not apply to Texas and Nevada students.) We have experienced very
  few problems with corporate firewalls. In fact, many of our customers take
  our traffic ;school during lunch breaks. Making payments using our secure
  payment screens is sometimes blocked from corporate firewalls.

  NOTE: If you dial up to the internet from home but are using a laptop and/or
  dial up number provided to you by your employer, you are still going through
  the corporate firewall (through the virtual private network).

   Supported Browsers - Our course is optimized for Microsoft's Internet
  Explorer 6.x. To download a FREE copy of this browser,
  visit Microsoft's download page.

  Although the system will operate, we do NOT provide technical support the
  following browsers: Safari, Firefox, AOL and Netscape.

   Mac vs. PC - Our system likes PC computers (such as Compaq, IBM, HP,
  Dell and Sony) much better than Macintosh computers. HOWEVER, if you're
  using Mac OSX, our course will still operate efficiently. Our e-learning system
  is NOT compatible with earlier versions of Macintosh OS and Linux.

  Windows 98 users may encounter some "bugs" in our course and secure
  payment screens, but can still use our system safely.

  There are many versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. You
  may be using Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows XP, or another version.
  To make sure you know which version is on your computer:

  1. Click Start, and then click Run.

  2. In the box, type winver, and then click OK.

  The window that appears will show you which version of Windows your
  computer is using.

  Note: These instructions do not apply to Apple Macintosh computers. To find
  security information for Apple computers, visit the Apple security site.

   Required Software - There is no required software to take our online
  traffic school. You can access and take our course from any computer
  connected to the Internet. Some of our course reference materials
  (which are OPTIONAL) require that you have Adobe’s FREE Acrobat
  Reader software.


  Many Web browsers and computers already include a version of Acrobat
  Reader, so you may not have to download and install it.
