In order to take advantage of the new features in Java, the Physlets® module uses the the new release of the JDK, JDK 1.1.

Currently, the new version of Java is supported on PCs. running Win95/98/NT.

In addition, on PCs, the new version of Java works best with the Internet Explorer 4 web browser or higher.

If you are using a PC running Win 95/98/NT and are using Netscape, please download the latest version of Netscape.

Note to Mac users: Currently, Physlet® Problems will not run on a Macintosh Power PC since browsers for this platform do not support both Java 1.1 and Java to JavaScript communication.

The recommended system requirements to use the applets in the Physlets® modules are:

A Pentium 90 with 16MB RAM
Either Netscape 3.0.3 and higher or Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. Internet Explorer 3.0/AOL browser does not work!
Your internet connection should be through your school's local area network. Using a 28.8 modem will result in dramatically increased load times.
