FAQ - SENDING PAGES
The " To Share This Page With a Friend, Click Here " link doesn't work. How can I email the page to someone?
The sure way to share a page is to start a letter to your friend the same way you normally start a letter.
Next tell them where the page is,
Example, See this great page at www.lovethissite.com,, Look for the ,
Butterflies and Daughters page.
Or another example, see this powerful page at
http://www.promiseofgod.com/nojacket/
Share by sending a link to the page by email.
To copy and paste the link into an email - When on the page you wish to send.
Try one right click on the address in your browser, this should bring up a menu,
Click the copy, next open your letter and right click in the body of the letter,
do the paste and the address should be there. This works with all email programs.
This way you will be able to share any page with ease.
General Help - We find that the windows explorer browser, works best. Explorer
browsers works better than Netscape, AOL browsers. All should work great with
just the standard explorer browser.
For pages that use Flash movies, go to
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
and start your free download.
AOL users can simply, after you log onto the net, minimize your AOL Netscape
browser,, next open and use the explorer browser.

adding pop up ads to every site you ever go to. Good news is that you can remove
it fairly easily. Run Ad-Aware to remove all this junk and your computer will love you for it,
Get Ad-Aware - Down Load Here - Its Free and Easy.
How to make a page printable.
In your browser you will need to click on the tools tab and do the internet
options, and then the advanced tab. Next you can scroll down until you see the
printing option. At this point make sure that there is not a check mark on print
backgrounds and images. Click on the apply button and then you will be ready to
print the pages easier.
============================================================
FAQ - Why don't some of the graphics show up?
Graphics
If the page has finished loading and you get a small red X in a space where a
picture should be, First try click Refresh/Reload on your browser.
Internet Explorer - When upgrading to a new computer, the system may
need you to download the Java software, it doesn't come in window XP. Click Here
http://java.com/en/index.jsp
When window opens click on the Get It Now yellow box and follow the instructions for download.
Netscape - If the JAVA applets won't load, be sure you have the option "JAVA
enabled" checked . You'll find this under Edit tab,, Preferences, Click on
advanced and make sure all java has been checked.
If the graphics "smear" across your screen, click Refresh/Reload on your
browser. Wait for the page to completely finish loading before you scroll down the page.
I Just get a blank, where a picture should be.
.wmv is Window Media Video
The first thing to check is the settings on your browser. It maybe shut off to
showing animations or video files. Default setting are good. Either set back to
default setting, or do Tools, then Internet Options, then Advanced, then make sure there is a check mark at Play
video, animation, etc. If your browser still does not work, to fix this you will need to uninstall the windows media player. And
then re-install it again.
Do this by going to the Control Panel, then add remove programs and windows components,, then remove
windows media player.
Reboot, check and see that it is gone. Next reinstall the windows media player.
At www.share-christmas.com is a .wmv
picture for testing.
If that don't do it, then you will need to go back one level on your explorer
browser. Do control panel, then uninstall explorer browser,, it will take you
back a level on your browser,, like from Explorer 10 to Explorer 9. That
should do it. If not then you will need to uninstall all the other video
players, like Quick Time player. When your browser is fixed,
then you can always re-install programs without any more problems.
============================================================
FAQ - Why can't I hear any music playing?
Music/Midi Files
The usual problem is that there are too many music players installed, and your
computer don't know which music player to use. You may have erratic behavior if
you have Quicktime installed. Problems include: Only playing 1-2 seconds of each
song before quitting or garbled sound when playing.
Do the following:
(1)Launch Windows Control Panel
(2)Click on the Quicktime icon
(3)Using the pull-down menu select the Browser-Plugin option
(4)In the Window, click on the option MIME settings
(5)In the next Window, scroll down until you locate lines that begin with "MIDI"
(6)Click each of the lines until the "+" disappears
(7)Click OK and close the other Windows
Windows media player will now be responsible for playing MIDI (music) files.
This should solve the problem, if not you may have another unrelated
configuration problem with your computer.
Most everyone uses Windows media player. The built in windows media player is
all that most people ever need. When using the Windows media player for your
sound. To adjust the sound to receive midi's and mp3s. ( newer version) First
click on the tools menu on the top bar of your player, ( Built in version ) Use
the views menu instead, then click on the options and then click on the formats
tab. You will need to make sure that all the boxes are checked for all the types
of music files. Do select all. This will fix crackly, and poor quality sound.
If this fails, then change all your setting to not play any sounds, and try
again.
