We think we have finally fixed our problems with the Muncie/Delaware County Digital
Resource Library.
The company installed a patch so that Windows 98 works.
The company upgraded the software a few weeks ago; the upgrade is not friendly to 98
users.
The patch should help.
We fixed a few minor problems as well.
If anyone has problems after this please let us know.
Tips:
* Read the descriptions for each database to learn what each one contains
* There are no actual obituaries in the obit database, it is currently only an index.
* Remember to use an asterisk after the first name in the court document database
(initials are contained in the first name field)
* The first time you use the database and after each upgrade you will be asked to download
the viewer, say yes to this request.
* If you have a pop-up blocker, the download message may never get through to you.
* Netscape and Mozilla Browsers do not work correctly. Internet Explorer does.
* Make sure to log off so that we don't exceed our license and prevent others from
using the resources.
* Mac Users - the viewer doesn't seem to agree with MACs. Log in as
"publicmac" "publicmac" and you will at least get to see the documents
(without the handy viewer).
* Don't bookmark the site. Start fresh each time you use it.
You can respond to this list or e-mail me directly if you are having problems.
Thank you all for your patience!
