1. I cannot run the computer test, the definition of learning objectives, the language achievement test or Auralog.
When you click on a link (Computer Test, Begin My Training, Define My Objectives Now, Language Achievement test), an information page appears instead. There are several reasons:
- The security settings of Internet Explorer are too high. They do not allow scripts to be executed. Modify your web browser security settings (you need the required administrator rights) or contact the system administrator who will modify the parameters.
- An anti pop-up device is installed on your computer. Either stop your anti pop-up device or modify your parameters so as to allow pop-ups to appear when visiting Tell Me More ® Online website. To find out more about how to allow pop-ups to appear, please refer to How can I enable pop-ups when using an anti pop-up device?

5. What should be done when I cannot download Tell Me More ® components?
Check that:
- the user work station has the necessary administrator rights for downloading files such as Tell Me More components.
- the internet options of your web browser allow Active X files to be downloaded
6. Is it possible to run TELL ME MORE® Online if the components are not installed?
It is possible to use Tell Me More ® Online without having installed the components. However, the use of the program will not be as easy and some functions will not be activated:
- speech recognition exercises. The grey boxes indicate that Speech Recognition activities are not available in the selected Language Program.
- the print function.
- the option of minimizing the TELL ME MORE ® screen.
- the cache system
7. Is it possible to access the content of Tell Me More ® Online if my computer is not equipped with a sound card?
It is technically possible. However, it will be impossible to access activities with speech recognition and/or sound effects. Only 15 to 20 % of activities will still be available, thus significantly reducing the benefits of the Auralog method. Nevertheless, some USB headsets (such as Plantronics headsets) that include their own audio components allow activities with speech recognition to be completed without having a sound card installed on the student’s workstation.
8. Is it possible to carry on with other tasks while the Tell Me More® components are being downloaded?
Downloading Tell Me More ® components can last 20 minutes depending on the speed of your connection. You may carry on with other tasks by pressing ALT+TAB or placing the mouse cursor on the Windows symbol to display the toolbar
9. What should be done if I cannot download/update the Flash Player?
Check that:
- Your computer has the administrator rights needed to download software like the Flash player.
- the web browser options have been configured to allow files such as Flash Player to be downloaded. If this is not the case, please modify the internet options. The first installation of Flash Player may fail, making it impossible to carry out an update properly. In this case, Flash Player must be uninstalled, then reinstalled. To find out more about how to uninstall Flash Player, please refer to the 'How can I uninstall Flash Player?’ section.
10. How can I uninstall the Flash Player?

11. What should be done if a message to update Flash Player is displayed when opening Tell Me More ®?

This message appears when students click on ‘Previous Page’ in Internet Explorer (according to the version, settings and options).
