3. Double-click the Authorware_Web_Player.exe file to install the Authorware web player. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete installation. Be sure to select which type of browser you are using when asked (note: If you don't know which browser/version you are using, you can find out by selecting the "Help" menu option in your browser, then selecting "About..." in the menu that drops down).

   • Your password can be anything you want as well, as long as it has a minimum of 4 characters and a maximum of 10 characters in length. Enter it in each of the two password boxes. Be sure to write it down so you can remember it.

Frequently Asked Questions

back to top

• Will my scores and records ever be matched up with my name?
  No. You provide your own user name, so your identity is kept anonymous. As a second precaution to protect your privacy, your user name is matched to a number in an encrypted file. Therefore, a user's scores and records are only associated with an arbitrary number.
• What are the scores and records used for?
  The scores and records from your and everyone else's usage of the training program are compiled into overall statistics to track strengths, weaknesses, progress, and other trends regarding this program. This is done to contribute to improvement of the product and other such training efforts.
• I'm using Windows 95, 98, or NT. My screen resolution is set at 640x480 pixels. Why does the Windows task bar cover part of the training window?
  In order to accomodate for this, there is a button in the top right corner of the training piece that allows users to hide (and show) the Windows task bar. When you exit the ONAP On-Line Training, the program puts your task bar back if it's hidden. More information about this feature can be found in the tutorial. If you exited the browser without exiting the ONAP On-Line Training program first, your bottom task bar may not have reappeared. Click here to get it back.
• I wish to see another topic covered in a future version of this program. Who do I contact?
  Suggestions for improvement or expansion of this program are always welcome. Contact the main HUD office or send an email to Jennifer_A._Bullough@hud.gov with your suggestions.
• I'm using Internet Explorer 3. Why can't I start up the ONAP On-Line Training?
  Older versions of Internet Explorer 3 may not work well with the javascript used on this page or with the Authorware Web Player plugin you need to run the ONAP On-Line Training. You can download a free browser upgrade from Microsoft (Internet Explorer) or from Netscape (Netscape Navigator).
