Troubleshooting

If the problem is/Try

You cannot open your E-mail.

Reset your Mail Preferences. (On the File menu, click Preferences, then click the Mail tab.)

You cannot see a newsgroup or a page on the Internet.

Check that your age and SafeSurf settings allow you access. Check that you typed the URL correctly.

A page in the browser does not appear or only part of it appears

Computers on the Internet may be busy or temporarily out of service, or the connections that allow information to come to you may be busy. If a page does not appear after a few minutes, try clicking the Stop button [image] and then clicking the Reload button [image] to try again.

You do not connect to a file transfer (FTP) site.

Check that you entered your name and password correctly.

You get disconnected from your Internet provider.

Some disconnections you can't do anything about except reconnect. If you have Call Waiting, however, and someone calls, it breaks the connection between you and your Internet provider. Before you connect to your provider, you should turn off Call Waiting. After you finish with your Internet session, turn Call Waiting back on. Your telephone company can tell you how to turn Call Waiting on and off.

Your mail messages disappear.

If you selected the option Save Backup Copy of Mail in the Preferences dialog box, InterGO has saved a copy of every message you received even if you deleted them. The messages are kept in SAVEMAIL.$$$ in your mail directory. You can retrieve all these messages by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R. Note: Retrieving all the mail you ever received can take a long time.

Setting Add-on Preferences

InterGO is expandable so you can hear sounds, see videos, and do other sophisticated things that are available on an Internet page.

For example, suppose one of the choices on an Internet page is to click a link to play a song. When you click that link, the Internet computer may send the browser a MIDI file (a kind of file for playing music and other sounds). If you have a program that plays MIDI files, and have identified that program in the InterGO Add-on Preferences dialog box, InterGO passes the file to that program and it plays the song.

You can specify three different ways to handle a document type.

Display the document type in the browser

Save the file to your hard disk (the default)

Run a program you have that uses the document type

If you have not set up how to handle a document type, InterGO offers to save the file to your disk drive. If you save it, you can later run it with a program that knows how to handle it.

Set up a document type.


Setting Add-on Preferences

To set up a document type

1	On the File menu, click Preferences. The InterGO Preferences dialog box opens.

2	If necessary, click the Add-ons tab to see the Add-ons panel of the InterGO Preferences dialog box.

3	Select a folder to add a new add-on to or select an existing Document Type.

4	Click New to create a new Document Type or click Edit to change an existing Document Type. The File Properties dialog box opens.

6	Type a description of the file type.

7	Type the file extensions that identify the document (without leading periods), separated by commas.

8	Choose the action to take when the browser finds this kind of document on a page.

9	If the action is to run a program, type the path to the program to run, or click the Ellipsis button [image] to the right of the Path text box to open the Open dialog box and find the program. Click Open when you have found the program.

10	Click OK to close the dialog box. The Document Type is shown in the InterGO Preferences dialog box.

InterGO Screening

InterGO rates Internet sites using the same screening by age used by the video games industry. You can use the ratings to automatically screen objectionable sites for your child by entering the age of your child and a password.

Screening setting/Meaning

EC - OK for 3+ (Early Childhood)

Maximum screening, only allows material rated appropriate for the youngest viewers

KA - OK for 6+ (Kids to Adults)

Allows material rated appropriate for everyone 6 years old and over

T - OK for 13+ (Teens)

Allows material rated for everyone 13 years old and over

M - OK for 17+ (Mature Audiences)

Allows material rated for everyone 17 years old and over

AO - OK for 21+ (Adults Only)

No screening, displays all material regardless of content

As you surf the Internet, you, as a parent or teacher, may find additional Internet sites or locations that you want to screen for your children. Because hundreds of new pages are added daily, even the best screening schemes may not catch them all.

SafeSurf Screening

The SafeSurf caution levels are set as appropriate for the InterGO screening you choose. You can change the caution level for each category if you wish. The SafeSurf rating standard was developed by SafeSurf.

The caution levels range from 1 to 9. A caution level of 1 only allows Internet pages appropriate for children under 12. A caution level of 9 shows all pages, including pages that might be inappropriate for younger children. The higher the caution level, the more likely the material on the Internet page will be considered objectionable for a younger child.

Age	Caution Level

If you do not connect then, InterGO offers to connect you when you do something that may require Internet access, such as opening the browser or the Mail window. If you wish, you can connect to your Internet provider using the telephone on the Desk.

To connect to the Internet

1	Click the telephone in the Desk scene. The Connect to the Internet dialog box opens.

2	Click your Internet provider to select it.

3	Click Dial. InterGO dials the phone and connects you to your Internet provider. A dialog box shows the progress of the connection.

To disconnect from the Internet

1	Click the telephone in the Desk scene. The Connect to the Internet dialog box opens.

2	Click your Internet provider to select it.

3	Click Disconnect. You are disconnected from the Internet.

Tips

If you have Call Waiting and someone calls, it breaks the connection between you and your Internet provider. Before you connect to your provider, you should turn off Call Waiting. After you finish with your Internet session, turn Call Waiting back on. Your telephone company can tell you how to turn Call Waiting on and off.

You set up your Internet provider when you installed InterGO. You can add other Internet providers.

When you close InterGO, it offers to disconnect you from the Internet.

Tutorial: Adding People to Your Address Book

The Address Book lets you record names, addresses, E-mail addresses, telephone numbers, and company information. With InterGO, you only have to enter an E-mail address once. You can address your E-mail using either a person's first and last name or a nickname.

The Address Book starts with one address: Customer Support, with a nickname of Customer Support. You can add additional names.

In this tutorial, you add the information for a fictitious person, John Dough. You can use the same steps to add other people if you know their E-mail addresses.

1	If you are not at the Desk, click the Desk button at the lower left of the InterGO window.

2	Continue adding people to your Address Book.

 Address Book - Overview


Tutorial: Composing and Sending E-mail

In this tutorial, you send an E-mail message to John Dough, the entry you added to the Address Book in the tutorial on adding people to your Address Book. (If you send the E-mail to John, after a while you'll get a reply that there was a problem delivering the message, which makes sense because there is no such address. If you send mail to someone else, they'll get it in a few minutes.)

You can use the same steps to compose and send E-mail to other people if you have added them to the Address Book or know their E-mail addresses.

1	If you are not at the Desk, click the Desk button at the lower left of the InterGO window.

2	Move your mouse pointer to the letter and click once to open the Mail window.

3	Continue composing and sending E-mail.


Tutorial: Composing and Sending E-mail

1	Click the Compose button [image] to open the Compose window.

2	Type John to send the mail to John Dough. You do not have to type the E-mail address or open the Address Book because InterGO expands the nickname to the complete Internet address. Note: You must have set up John in your Address Book for this address to work.

If you want to send this E-mail to someone instead of John, type their nickname or their full name as you entered them in the Address Book, or type their E-mail address if you have not added them to your Address Book. To send this E-mail to several people, separate their names with commas. For example, if you have entered the proper information in the Address Book, you could address an E-mail to "Mom, Dad, Jill, Skip."

If you prefer, you can choose who you want to send the mail to in the Address Book. Click To: to open the Address Book, then click the person you want to send the message to. If you wish, you can select several people. Click OK to return to the Compose window. It shows the people you clicked in the Address Book.

3	Continue composing and sending E-mail.

If you are charged for your time connected to the Internet, it is less expensive to compose offline and connect only to send and receive E-mail.

2	Click the Sent folder to show the E-mail messages in it. It shows the E-mail you just sent. Note: If you have not yet received the message that the E-mail was sent, click the Outbox folder to see the E-mail.

Opening a Page on the Internet by Clicking Links

Links are underlined words or phrases on a page, often in a different color. If you have already visited the page, the link is in yet another color.

Click a link. The browser opens the page associated with the link.

Tips

Pictures also can be links. They may be surrounded by a colored box, indicating whether you have visited the page they connect to. When you move your mouse pointer over a link, it looks like a magnifying glass.

When you click a link, you go to the page the link is connected to. If you have been to that page previously, InterGO may have a copy of the page in its cache. In that case, the browser shows the copy, then connects to the site that has the page to make sure the copy in the cache is the latest version. If it is not the latest version, the browser downloads the latest version. You choose how to use the cache by setting your browser preferences.

InterGO first downloads the text from a page, then fills in the pictures. You can set your browser preferences so that the browser omits showing images (which is fastest), shows images in solid colors, or mixes colors (which produces the best pictures).

Most pages appear in the browser very quickly. However, computers on the Internet are sometimes busy or temporarily out of service, and the connections that allow information to come to you are sometimes busy. If a page does not appear after a few minutes, try clicking the Stop button [image] and then clicking the Reload button [image] to try again.

Opening a Page on the Internet by Entering an Address (URL)

Each page on the Internet has an address, called a URL (Universal Resource Locator). The address consists of instructions to the browser on how to handle the page, the name of the computer the page is located on, the directory where the page is, and the file name of the page.

For example, in the address http://www.intergo.com/directory/file.htm, "http://" tells the browser how to handle the page, "www.intergo.com" is the name of the computer, "directory" is the directory where the file is located, and "file.htm" is the name of the file.

1	On the File menu, point to Open and click Internet. The Open Internet Location (URL) dialog box opens.

2	Click the Location Type that describes the location where the page is.

3	Type the address in the Location text box.

4	Click OK. The browser opens the page.

Tips

You also can enter addresses by typing them in the Location text box and pressing Enter.

You also can copy an address in another application, point to the Location text box, click the right mouse button to open the shortcut menu, and click Paste. Press Enter to open the page.

You can open an address you receive in an E-mail message by highlighting the address, clicking the right mouse button to open the shortcut menu, and clicking Open Browser. The page opens in the browser.

You also can click the down arrow to the right of the Location text box and click the title of a page that you visited recently. The browser reopens the page. Note: If you press the Page Up or Page Down key while the entry in the Location text box is highlighted or the cursor is in the Location text box, the browser opens the appropriate page you visited recently. Before you use the Page Up or Page Down key to scroll through a page, click on the page to remove the focus from the Location text box.

Some addresses omit the directory or file name. In that case, the computer gives the browser a default page.

You hear about Internet addresses you might want to try on the Internet, in newspaper and magazine articles, on television, and from your friends.

Most pages appear in the browser very quickly. However, computers on the Internet are sometimes busy or temporarily out of service, and the connections that allow information to come to you are sometimes busy.

You can address messages by clicking To: or cc: and selecting addresses in the Address Book, or you can just type a person's nickname.

You can spell check your messages before you send them.

You can attach any kind of file to your messages, including documents, programs, and pictures, and send them along with the message.

You can add comments to a message you receive and forward it to others. You can add a reply to a message you receive and send it back to the person who sent it to you.

You can compose mail while not connected to the Internet. Messages you send are stored in the Outbox folder until you connect to the Internet. If you are connected to the Internet when you send mail, the message is stored in the Outbox folder briefly until it is transmitted to your mail server. When messages are sent to the mail server, they move to the Sent folder.

If you click the Compose button while you are composing mail, a message asks if you want to delete the contents of the current message. If you click Yes, your current message is removed and a new Compose window opens. If you click No, you return to your current message.

The Edit menu includes the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands to move text between the Clipboard and the message. The Undo command on the Edit menu reverses changes you made in the document. For example, choosing Undo after typing removes the text you typed. If you are posting an article from the Newsroom, the Edit menu also includes the Redo command so you can redo changes you reversed with the Undo command.
