sponsored by the Library of Congress Cataloging Directorate Cybercasts Now AvailableIn order to view this cybercast, you will need either Netscape 4.x or higher or Internet Explorer 5. You will also need Real Player version 8 or higher. If any of your components are out of date, you should get an error message and the opportunity to upgrade those components. You will also need to have a good internet connection for proper viewing, such as an institutional internet connection. Dial-up connections with a 56.6K modem will prove unsatisfactory. If you get a message about a missing plugin that has no available update, you should go to real.com and get the latest free version of Real Player to install on your machine. That should clear up any problems.If network traffic is heavy, you will see the synchronization between the speaker and his/her voice start to slip and the graphics may be slow to change. This does not cause any problems, it is just a sign that network traffic is heavy.
