| If you can't get something
to work as expected there may be something wrong with
your head, just kidding! It's probably something in the
way your browser is set up. Below you can read about our
suggested settings and minimum system requirements. The
minimum requirement for using megaConverter is a
computer (really!?), an Internet connection and
Netscape Navigator 3.0 or newer, or Internet Explorer 3.0
or newer. Your browser must be set with JavaScript and
frames enabled. Lots of the cool stuff at
megaConverter.com doesn't work in Internet Explorer, but
for the most part the converters do work. But, the
megaCalculator will only work in Netscape 3.0 or
newer.
On the MS Windows, Win95/NT platforms, you must have
your display system set to use small fonts or else the
modules become distorted and, possibly, impossible to
use. Small fonts is usually the default but people with
larger monitors operating at high resolution sometimes
use large fonts. These people will need to revert to
small fonts. If the megaKidstuff converters look OK to
you then don't worry about it. As is true for almost any
reasonable use of the Internet and specifically the World
Wide Web, a 14.4 bps modem can be considered the minimum
practical connection speed. Some modules may take a while
to load at that speed. 28.8 bps or faster is recommended.
We have not tested this site on anything less than a
Pentium class computer but it should work fine on slower
machines. The speed of the computer should not be the
determining factor of the speed of use, however slow
modems, telephone line noise, Internet connection and
even the time of day may be. It would be wise on slower
systems not to have unnecessary things running in the
background.
Occasionally, bugs in Netscape Navigator and Internet
Explorer may cause the program to crash. Netscape is more
robust than Internet Explorer in this regard and we
recommend its use. We regret any inconvenience this may
cause but many websites are doing the same. We expect
that upcoming improvements from both Netscape and
Microsoft will help limit crashes.
