For Windows XP users

Problem: The Microsoft Virtual Machine is missing when accessing MGI applet viewer.

Cause: Windows XP does not come with a Java Virtual Machine(JVM) installed. To run any java applet, including MGI's applet viewer, a JVM must be installed.

Solution: When accessing an applet for the first time, a dialog box prompts the user for the option of downloading the Microsoft JVM. Microsoft calls the Java Virtual Machine the Microsoft Virtual Machine.

Microsoft uses JVM version 1.1.8. Sun's current version is 1.3 and is getting ready to release 1.4. MGI supports the Microsoft JV 1.1.8, Sun's current JVM standard and will support future releases of Sun's JVM standard.

For WebTV Users

Getting Online: Using Internet Access Products

Q. What are the limitations of an Internet access product?

A. Limitations vary, depending on the product and, in some cases, the service it uses to connect to the Internet. For example, a small display screen on a cellular phone won't give you the same view of a website as a computer monitor or TV. Internet access products may not let you play certain games, use some audio or video features, send or receive certain attachments to email messages, or view information in formats like Java or PDF (Portable Document Format). You may be able to access information in a text format only. In addition, you may not be able to download information or software from the Internet to add features to your product the same way you can with a PC. You may have to wait for product upgrades from the manufacturer or Internet service provider.

Most Virtual Tour products use the Java script format which, based on the above information, may not be supported by WebTV. You may want to contact your Internet Access Provider directly and see if they plan to support this format in the future.
