I can't see the table of contents!

Sometimes it's possible to navigate to this site without having gone through the opening page. If you've done that it's possible that you won't be able to see the table of contents on the left hand side of the screen. To fix this, simply click here.

It's also possible that you're using an older version of Netscape or Internet Explorer that won't display frames. If you're not using Netscape 4.6 or newer or Internet Explorer 5 or newer (larger numbers are newer -- you can check your version by quiting and restarting your browser -- watch the opening screen and keep track of the number that appears after the name of the program) we highly suggest that you download them now by clicking on either Netscape for Windows or Macintosh (for Netscape) or Microsoft for Windows or Microsoft for Macintosh (for Internet Explorer), since much of the web now uses these technologies.

I've got two or more copies of the table of contents!

We're not really sure how this happens, but sometimes it's possible to double up on the table of contents. To correct this and return to the home page, click here.

I can't see the whole page without scrolling across!

This site is best viewed at a screen resolution of 1024x768 (Maximized).

To set the screen resolution on a PC, click on the Start menu, select "Settings" then "Control Panel" (if you're running Windows XP, there will be a "Control Panels" icon in the Start menu) and then "Display". One of the tabs should be "Settings". Move the slider on the bottom right hand side of the window until the text below reads 1024 by 768 pixels or more. Then click "OK" and your screen will go dark for less than 5 seconds, after which you should have a different resolution (the print will probably look a little smaller).

To set the screen resolution on a Macintosh, click on the Apple Menu, select "Control Panels" and then "Display". Select the at least 1024x768 from the drop-down menu and then click "OK". Your screen will go dark momentarily as it resets, after which you should have a different resolution (the print will probably look a little smaller). If you are running OS X, either select the screen icon on the menu bar at the top, or select "System Preferences" from the Dock and then choose "Displays" before following the remaining instructions, above.

If your screen is set to 1024x768 and you still can't see everything without scrolling left to right, click on the small square at the top of the window that contains a second small square(not the line or the "x") (if you are using OS X on a Mac, this will be the green "+" gumdrop). Once you've done that, you should be able to view the full site.

How do I get back to the beginning?

At any point, just click on the "Home" at the top left hand corner of the page to return to the opening page.

The colours of the site are really bright!

Strangely enough, this is because your screen may be too dark. Try adjusting the brightness and contrast controls on your screen (they will vary in location from screen to screen) by raising the brightness to almost its maximum and reducing the contrast until the screen is a pleasing brightness. This should work for most screens, but you may have to adjust to suit your individual tastes. In general, the factory presets on screens have the brightness set too low and the contrast too high.
