As a guide, the following browsers are supported:Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.1 (Macintosh / Windows)Safari 2.0 (Macintosh)Internet Explorer 6 and above (Windows)On the following operating systems:Windows XP SP2Windows 2000 SP4Macintosh OS X 10.3.9 / 10.4How do I create an ISO?An ISO is an exact image of a CD-ROM or DVD. After you download the 'ISO' you will be able to create your own copy of the original DVD or CD-ROM. Think of an ISO as the original, or master of the CD-ROM or DVD you wish to download. Because it is the original DVD or CD-ROM it will normally have a large file size so be sure you are ok with a long download time. If you just need to view the materials you might want to consider viewing the CD-ROM online - or viewing DVDs by chapter.Simply click on the download button and follow the prompts to download the appropriate ISO. Once received use your disk burning software to create the actual disk. As disk burning software varies greatly it is not possible to provide instruction on this - however generally speaking it will be a matter of initiating a burn and opting to 'use disk image'. You may wish to speak to your IT personnel for instructions specific to your particular software.How do I change my video preferences?Click here to change your video preferences

Zip files are compressed versions of one or more original files which, because of the compression, download faster than the originals, and group numerous files into one download.Before you can use the contents of a zip file, you must extract the files. To extract the files you can open a Zip file by double clicking it in your Explorer window or by using a Zip utility.Both Mac OS X and Windows XP come with zip utilities pre-installed. On Windows XP, you need to right-click on the zip file, and choose 'Extract All'. This will open an Extraction Wizard to guide you through the process. On Mac OS X, simply opening a zip file by double-clicking will extract the files into a folder in the same location as the zip file.Web Accessibility InitiativeThis website endeavours to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
