Earlier (slower) Pentium processors will work, but less efficiently.

Use at least the recommended processor speed for your operating system.

Do not use Pentium processors with speeds below 166 MHz.

Higher or lower resolution will work.

Using lower resolutions, especially 640x480, increases scrolling.

Internet Explorer

MSN Explorer

Version 6.0 and 7.0

Version 5.5 is also supported.

Versions 5.0 and 5.01 will not work with the system.

Versions 4.0 and 4.01 will not work with the system.

Version 3.x and earlier will not work with the system.

MSN Explorer is based on Internet Explorer and should work with all system functions.

Note to Macintosh users: IE 5.2 running under the OS X operating system has serious flaws that prevent many Connexion functions from working properly. Under earlier versions of the Macintosh OS, IE 5.1 or 5.0 may work adequately with Connexion.*

Version 1.5.0.x

Version 2.0.0.1 is supported. However, this version can cause problems with Connexion popup windows and shortcut keys.

Firefox, like Netscape, is based on Mozilla's Gecko layout engine. Its functionality is similar, but not identical, to that of the Mozilla browser.

Netscape

Most recent release of version 8.x

Versions 7.2, 7.0 and 7.1 are supported, but some functions may not work properly.

Version 6.x is not supported.

Note to Macintosh users: Netscape 7.x is recommended as the preferred browser for all versions of the Macintosh OS.*

Most recent release of version 1.7.x

Mozilla is the open source browser on which Netscape 8 is based. Its functionality is similar, but not identical, to that of Netscape 8.

*Macintosh users: OCLC does not systematically test Connexion with Macintosh hardware, operating systems or browsers. Advice to Macintosh users is based on limited testing and user reports.
