- Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, and XP.
- For students at Web server installations, Netscape Navigator versions 4.51 through 4.7x or Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher are required. An Authorware plug-in is used for course simulations but is not required to run Track Selling System courses. It can be installed the first time you take a course by following the instructions shown on the Web page.

June 2003, Netscape Navigator will no longer be supported.
Plug-ins Required by Track Selling System Courses
No downloading of proprietary players or courses is required. An Authorware Web Player version 4.0.3F1 (previously known as Shockwave) plug-in is used for some course simulations, but is not required to take a course. It can easily be downloaded and installed from the Track Selling System Web site the first time you take a course by following the instructions on the Web page. For Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 or higher, the full ActiveX version of the Authorware Web Player plug-in (version 5.2.0.61) will be installed. Animated procedural simulations created with Flash are now found in some new courses.
Bandwidth Information
- Each course screen averages 16K. Take the course screen average and multiply it by the number of simultaneous users, and expect that each user will page forward about every 30 seconds. Thus, each user will be calling about .5 K per second.
- What is the size of your link or bandwidth to the Internet? Burstable service with continuous traffic between 0 and 2 MB, but potential to burst to 10MB.
