Attention Windows XP Users
Microsoft has recently released Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows XP. Included with this update are popup-blocking functionality for Internet Explorer, as well as the introduction of the new Windows Firewall (formerly called Internet Connection Firewall). These features are enabled by default, and may impact the access of online courses. We encourage any users who have upgraded to SP2 to review the following links for further information, as well as directions on how to disable these features. Note - these links will each open in a new window.
