Outside The Classroom supports a variety of computer configurations for all versions of
AlcoholEdu. While we recommend using Internet Explorer 7 and Flash Player 8 or later when
taking the course, it will function as long as your computer meets certain minimum technical
requirements. Please refer to the matrix below to confirm that your computer meets these
minimum requirements. If you are unsure about your system configuration, you may log on
to the course and use the information on the Media Settings page to help you identify
any missing requirements.

*Note: AlcoholEdu's Media Settings page may not properly detect your system settings in some Netscape or Firefox browsers.
**Note: The Flash Player is preinstalled on most systems, although an upgrade may be necessary.
***Note: If you do not have sound, it is best to find a computer that does. If this is not possible, choose the closed captioning option when taking the course.
