Tip: In Internet Explorer 9, turn off the Protected Mode for the network zone that is the source of the contents. This ensures correct window handling for links that open content in a new window. Not doing so might result in the window being opened in full screen mode, without the possibility to close the lesson before it is finished. |
Note: Using Internet Explorer 8 you have to activate the Protected Mode for your Intranet Zone to gain full playback functionality for contents played back from Intranet Zone. |
