SOFTWARE UPDATES - Please check your software versions!

***Flash - https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/)
***QuickTime - http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch001071.htm
Please note the following when updating QuickTime on a PC (if you are a Mac user, please see your instructor for separate instructions):
We have found that in the latest version of QuickTime player, the web plug-in isn't automatically installed with the QuickTime program. I am hoping the directions below will solve this problem.
If you are installing QuickTime 7.7.9 or above you should select the "Custom" install option instead of a "Typical" install, so that you can include the optional QuickTime Web Plug-in. If you have already installed or updated QuickTime, you can add the browser plugin using these steps:
Find the Quicktime Installer file you downloaded previously and double-click it. (Alternatively, open the Windows Control Panel, choose Programs, then Programs and Features, select QuickTime from the list of installed programs and click Change.)
In the "QuickTime for Windows" window that opens, select Modify.
In the "QuickTime Product Features" window, choose Optional QuickTime Features and, under QuickTime Web Plug-in chose the drop-down option, Entire feature will be installed on local hard drive.
Click the Change button.
The QuickTime installation will complete and the browser plugin will be installed. If you see an installation error, close Firefox (if open) and try again. When you next open Firefox you should see the QuickTime plugin listed in the Add-ons Manager.
