HUD respects your right to privacy
and will protect it when you visit our website.
To view our webcasts, you will need to use free software
that you can download, called "Real Player."
We provide a link to the website where you can get this
software. When you install this software, the company
who creates and offers the software may have different
privacy policies than HUD. You should read their privacy
statement before deciding to install their software.

To view a webcast you should have a computer capable of playing
sounds, a connection to the Internet, a 56Kbs speed modem or faster,
and the proper software. These instructions will help you download
and install the software you will need. Before you begin, you should
print these instructions to use as a reference.
- Start by following the link to the "Free
Video Player."
- You are now leaving HUD's home page, so you will see our standard
disclaimer before you are forwarded to the web site where you
will get the video player. The video player is called the "RealPlayer."
- For the videos on HUD's Home Page you will only need the free version of the
RealPlayer. Please follow the link for the latest final release (see screenshot below).
- Enter information about your operating system and the type of
computer you are using. These instructions are for an installation
on a computer running Windows 95 with a Pentium processor. If
you are using something other than this, the install will be similar
but not exactly the same.
- Choose your operating system and the correct processor type.
You should make the choices that are appropriate for you. If
you are not sure of what to enter, consult with your computer
services personnel or consult your computer manuals.
- Enter your name and email address (if you have one). On the
right hand side there are some optional choices, such as language
and connection. You don't have to choose anything there. The
last choice to make is whether you would like to receive information
from the makers of the RealPlayer.
- Click on the "Download Free RealPlayer" button to continue.
- Download and launch the RealPlayer install executable.
- The installation process will ask you questions on a series
of screens. These instructions will cover these quickly, but you
should review each screen during your installation to ensure the
installation is correct.
- The first screen contains some general information and some
notes. Click on "Next" to continue.
- The second screen outlines the terms and conditions for using
the software. The software is free, but you should be aware
of these terms. Read the terms and click on "Accept" to acknowledge
that you accept them and to continue.
- Enter your identifying information and click on "Next."
- Select your connection speed. If you are not sure what your
connection speed is, ask your computer services personnel or
your Internet service provider. Click on "Next" to continue.
- Some users may see an additional screen asking for more information
about your Internet connection. If you see this screen and the
information is correct, click on "Next."
- The installation software will ask you where you would like
the software installed on your computer. Click on "Next" to
accept their recommendation and continue.
- The software will list what Internet browsers it has found
on your computer (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator).
If you want the software installed for all of your browsers,
click on "Next" to continue.
- The software will ask you what your "default" or primary browser
is. If you don't want to change it, click on "Next."
- The installation software now has all of the information it
needs to complete the installation. Click on "Finish" to install
the software.
- After a brief wait, you should see a screen that says your software
was successfully installed. Click "Ok" to continue and you will
see a registration screen. If you are still connected to the Internet
you can fill it out and send it now. If not, click on "Remind
Me Later."
- If you are still connected to the Internet, you will see the
RealPlayer run a test to ensure that it is correctly installed.
If everything is correct, you will see some video and hear some
sound.
You can now watch streaming video broadcasts at HUD's web site
and on other places on the world wide web.
