Current Version: 4.0.
Current issues:
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Includes a new addition of Internet Explorer 6.0, pop-up blocking, and Windows Security Center which contains Windows Firewall. These new implementations can have an effect on users using the Horizon Wimba products.
Note: The new pop-up blocking only applies to those users who are using IE 6.0 on Windows XP
Pop-up Blocker
Internet Explorer 6.0 on windows XP second addition has a pop-up blocker
feature in which it prevents unwanted browser windows from opening. Some
of the features that will be affected will be OpenCampus/OpenRoom.
Note: Mozilla and Netscape are not affected by the addition of the new
Internet Explorer 6.0 pop-up blocker.
The solution to this problem is when the user is prompt with an info
bar that contains
“
Pop-up blocked.” Choose “Click here for options…” Then
select “always allow pop-ups from this site…” from
the drop down menu. The other solution is to go to Internet Explorer
under the Tools menu and then click on Pop-up Blocker settings.Type the
address of the specific web site and then click Add.
Windows Firewall
If you are prompted
with a Windows Security Alert dialog box stating: "To
help protect your computer, Windows Firewall has blocked some features
of this program. Do you want to keep blocking this program?"
The solution to this problem is to click “Unblock” therefore
programs will be able to correspond through the firewall.

Top Questions: Wimba Does not work for me; what can I do? You can check that your browser is correctly configured by running our Diagnostic tool. If the diagnostic passes all tests successfully but you are still unable to connect to your Wimba Server, then contact your Wimba site administrator. The applet acts like it is playing but no sound comes out. This almost always indicates a problem with the speakers. It's probably something simple: the speakers aren't plugged in correctly, etc. The applet seems to record but nothing gets recorded. First,
make sure that the problem is not your speakers. It may be
that you are indeed recording, but you can't hear what you
recorded. What is the Java Console and how can I get it? The Java Console is the output log of the events that occur in the Java applets. If the applet has a problem, the Java Console most likely contains the error code. The first step in determining how to get the Java Console is determining whether you use Sun's Java 2 plug-in. If you have JavaScript activated, you will see below whether you have the Java 2 plug-in installed. Your system configuration suggests that you do not have the Java 2 plug-in. Java 2 users When you load an applet for the first time, a little icon like this or this should appear in your tray (in the bottom-right of the screen). Double-click this icon to see the Java Console. MacOS X users To enable the Sun Java Console, open the Java Plugin Settings panel. You will find it in Applications->Utilities->Java->Java 1.4.2 Plugin Settings [for Safari] or Applications->Utilities->Java->Java 1.3.1 Plugin Settings [for everything else]. However, the content of the Java Console goes by default in the System Console available in Applications->Utilities->Console. Windows/IE users Choose View --> Java Console. If you do not see this choice, you must enable the Java Console. Note that if the Java Console has less than about fifteen lines, it is likely that one of the following has occurred: You
did not get the Java Console following use of the applet (you
must open a page with the applet if it is to write to the Java
Console), or
