Using the free Acrobat Reader software, available for Macintosh, Windows, and UNIX platforms, you can read and print the pages on your printer in a manner that accurately reproduces the PDF file, including fonts, pictures, and illustrations, and reproduces them much more accurately than standard HTML Web pages can. | |||||||||||||||

| RealPlayer
|
The RealMedia streaming file format allows you to listen to sound files or see video files over the Internet without having to wait for the whole file to download. You have to wait only a few seconds while a little bit of audio (or video) file information is "buffered" to account for lapses in network speed, and then the file begins to play, with no more waiting, even for a file of 45 minutes or more in length. RealAudio or RealVideo requires the RealPlayer plug-in, available for free download from Progressive Networks. |

| QuickTime
|
If you don't already have the QuickTime plug-in, you can download it, free of charge, from Apple Computer. QuickTime software is available for Windows OS and for Macintosh OS. The videos located on this site make use of Quicktime's auto bandwidth detection to allow the Web server to send you the QuickTime file most appropriate for your Internet connection speed. Check your QuickTime Settings control panel to see what connection speed your QuickTime software currently expects. If you are connecting at 28.8 or 33.6 and would like to receive the higher-resolution version of the QuickTime files, open the QuickTime Settings control panel and change the connection speed to at least 56K Modem/ISDN. The files won't arrive any faster, but you will be sent the larger, higher-resolution versions. If the Windows Media Player logo appears when you try to play a QuickTime movie, but the movie never plays, your computer system is configured to try to play QuickTime files in Windows Media Player instead of in QuickTime. Windows Media Player will be unable to play most (if not all) QuickTime movies on the Reflections Web site. Reinstall QuickTime; we recommend downloading a fresh copy of the current version using the links above. |
