1In order to install the Flash and Authorware plugins, an admin password may be required to temporarily "elevate" the current user to an admin for each plugin to be installed. In old operating systems, this would require a logout of the first user, then the admin would log in, install the plug ins, then log out, and the first user would log back in. Note that you will have to do it this for each plugin – the "elevation" is only for a particular operation.

2In order to run any eLearning content, the domain of www.amatrolelearning.com must be set to a TRUSTED SITE to ensure that Internet Explorer 7 or 8 is not running in "Protected Mode". To do this, you can double-click on the "Protected Mode" text at the bottom of your browser window to access the security panel, and from there can set the site to be trusted.



If all plugins are working properly, you are ready to go back and login to begin your session.
