After installation, my display is too big and continuously scrolls. What do I do to prevent this condition?
Monitor settings should be set to 800X600 16Bit/24Bit/32Bit True Colors. If you cannot change screen resolution to this setting, the Display Driver may need to be updated.


Every time I try to log on, the computer locks up. Why does this happen? I did not have this problem immediately after the installation.
The most probable cause for this symptom is a corrupted student key. However, the same symptoms also indicate that a version of Norton Antivirus earlier than 5.0 may be running in the background. The best option is to turn off all un-needed software programs when you are running the Telecommunicator Series.


I am running the Telecommunicator Series on an NT Workstation. Our network administrator installed the package. The user name and password assigned to me for training will not allow me to use the course. How can I overcome this problem?
Install as Administrator, and then set user permissions. Modifications must be made to the Windows NT/2000/XP registry to ensure the TMS program will function correctly for all users. Your administrator must set these permissions by using the directions here. NT FIX Instructions


When logging in for the initial time, must I use "student" as the password and social security number as the User ID?
During the initial login, the student may use any easily remembered number as the User ID. This number may not be changed. The word "student" is used for the password to format the Student Key. The password may not be changed.


Upon finishing my first training module, I went to "Submit Results" and E-mailed my scores to my home address. Why was I unable to read the scores from the message on my home computer?
The Email option for submitting results is for sending test scores to your training officer if that person has the administrative password for the Telecommunicator Series. To print a certificate of completion after successfully completing a training module, click the "View certificate for printing" option, click "OK" and follow the instructions on the screen to print the Certificate of Completion.


Is there a different procedure for installing the program on a Windows NT/2000/XP platform?
Yes, if you are installing the Telecommunicator Series under Windows NT, you must have administrative privileges.

Additionally for WINDOWS NT/2000/XP ADMINISTRATORS: Specific modifications to the Windows NT Registry must be made to ensure the Telecommunicator Series Training Management System (TMS) functions correctly. We have included instructions for modifying these Registry Files in a NT/2000/XP_FIX file folder located on your Installation CD or you may click here for the NT/2000/XP_FIX Instructions. We recommend you print out this text document prior to initiating these modifications.


When I print out a certificate, can I change the name on the certificate from the original logon name to another user name?
No, the scores for the certificate are maintained on the Student Key(Floppy). Once the Student Key has been initialized with the User's name and ID, it cannot be changed. When printing a certificate, the User's name, ID and scores are verified. This protects the student and provides a legal record of the students performance.


I recently reordered a newer version of the Telecommunicator Series and am having difficulties getting the program to install or run properly. How can I get the newer version to work on the same computers as the older version I have?
When installing version 3.1.9, it overwrites previous versions. You must use the formatted 3.1.9 installation floppy to install the product and the formatted floppy to record your scores. Please call Customer Service at 1-888-903-5387 for installation assistance.
