Will
the AOL Browser work?
You can visit Wrestle Large™ with the America Online browser
v4.0 for Windows 95 or higher. JavaScript must be enabled and cookies
must be turned on.
For Macintosh computers, America Online v5 with Internet Explorer
5 (or higher) is required.
NOTE: The AOL browser may still cause errors, even if Java is enabled.
We suspect that this stems from AOL's conversion of standard, Web-format
files into AOL-only formats. This conversion reduces the traffic
on AOL servers, but it can negatively affect applications, which
use those files transmitted through the AOL network. Another factor
may be AOL's server-level caching of files. This can sometimes prevent
the correct transmission of necessary files-- including pictures,
music, or hidden Xtras and plugins. If this problem persists, please
try Internet Explorer or Netscape instead.
(top)
Which
browsers are recommended for best results?
We
recommend Internet Explorer 5.x or Netscape 7 for best results.
Internet Explorer 6 can also be used if you install the most current
suitable Flash Player plugins.
We do not support the use of CompuServe, Opera, iCab, or other browsers
even though they may in fact work.
(top)
How can I optimize
my Windows computer and software to work best with Wrestle Large™?
Check your display settings. We require a display resolution of
at least 800x600 pixels (1024x768 is recommended) and 16 bit depth.
You can change your display settings by right-clicking on the desktop
and choosing Properties from the pop-up menu. Click the Settings
tab in the Display Properties dialog box. If the setting indicated
under Screen area is less than 800x600 pixels, move the sliders
toward More until the resolution meets our minimum requirements.
Colors should be set to High Color (16 bit). To implement these
settings, click OK.
Check your version of the DirectX display plugin... You will need
at least version 7 to view most of our site, sometimes version 8
or higher. Please consult Microsoft's DirectX homepage for downloads
and information:
http://www.microsoft.com/directx
Make sure you're using Windows' default cursors (mouse pointer icons),
instead of custom cursors. You can change the pointers under Control
Panel > Mouse > Pointers.
Exit unused applications. You can exit an application by choosing
Exit from the file menu.
(top)
How can I optimize
my Mac OS computer and software to work best with Wrestle Large™?
Ensure that you have at least 64 MB of RAM installed in your computer.
While Wrestle Large™ will work with less memory, more RAM
may be recommended for best performance.
Check your monitor settings:
1. Choose Control Panels-> Monitors from the Apple Menu.
2. Set the Resolution to at least 800x600.
3. Set the Color Depth to Thousands (Macintosh G4 users should use
Millions)
NOTE: Some computers do not support large screen sizes with higher
color settings. In this case, try reducing your Color setting to
256. This will give you larger screen size options.
Allocate at least 25 MB of RAM to your Web browser (America Online,
Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Netscape Navigator).
1. Locate your Web browser on your hard drive. Click once on the
icon. (NOTE: You must locate the application itself, not an alias.)
2. Choose Get Info -> Memory from the File menu.
3. In the Info dialog box, indicate 25,000 for Preferred Size.
4. Click OK.
Quit unused applications. Press Command-Q to quit an application.

Wrestle
Large:
Troubleshooting
Wrestle
Large™ isn't loading properly. Is it the site or is my player
not working?
In most cases, this is only a temporary connection issue. Trying
again later should resolve it-- close your browser and reopen it,
try it on a different kind of browser, clear your cache and reload
the page, or else just hit the Refresh/Reload button. Please try
all the following suggestions:
* Try using a different browser. If you're using Internet Explorer,
use Netscape (and vice versa). The AOL or CompuServe browsers may
cause errors, even if Java is enabled. We most recommend Internet
Explorer 5.x or Netscape for best results
.* Whichever browser you choose, you will need to have Java enabled
in your browser's preferences.
* Check the security zone setting of your browser's preferences.
If the security is set too high, you will be blocked from accessing
many sites, including the Members Area.
* Your browser may betrying to access an old and/or broken version
of the page (sometimes we may have already fixed something, but
you’ll still see the broken version, because it’s still
in your cache). Please clear your browser's cache, refresh the webpage
and try it again.
Windows:
To clear the cache in Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Options,
and under Temporary Files click the Delete button.
To clear the cache in Netscape, go to Edit > Preferences. Under
Advanced, find "Cache", then click both "Clear"
buttons.
Mac OS:
To clear the cache in Internet Explorer, go to Edit > Preferences.
Under Web Browser, go to "Advanced". Under "Cache",
click the "Empty Now" button.
To clear the cache in Netscape, go to Edit > Preferences. Under
Advanced, find "Cache", then click the "Clear"
button.
If the problem persists, it's likely because Shockwave Player is
only partially installed, damaged, or has a mix of components from
different versions. Uninstalling, and then reinstalling the Shockwave
and Flash Players can fix any of these situations.
Download and run the Shockwave uninstaller for Mac OS and Windows:
Shockwave Player uninstaller (Mac OS - PowerPC):
http://download.shockwave.com/pub/shockwave/uninstaller/sw8uninstaller.hqx
Shockwave Player uninstaller (Windows):
http://download.shockwave.com/pub/shockwave/uninstaller/sw8uninstaller.exe
Next, uninstall Flash Player. Delete the Flash Player plugin for
Internet Explorer here:
Windows 95/98/ME-- C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Macromed\flash\flash.ocx [OR
"swflash.ocx"]
Windows NT-- C:\Winnt\System32\Macromed\flash.ocx [OR "swflash.ocx"]
Macintosh-- Delete the "Shockwave Flash NP-PPC" file,
located in the Plug-Ins folder of your browser.
Also delete the Netscape Flash Player plugin if you have it:
Windows-- C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\Plugins\NPSWF32.dll
After you've uninstalled Shockwave and Flash Players, you can reinstall
them:
http://www.macromedia.com/downloads
(top)
Internet
Explorer version 6 gives me errors, but Internet Explorer 5 or Netscape
works fine. What’s wrong?
Internet Explorer 6 does not come with the Shockwave Player plugin
installed. It can be used if you install the most current Flash
Player plugin.
(top)
I'm having
trouble downloading Shockwave Player.
An earlier version of Shockwave Player is pre-installed with most
popular Internet browsers. Sometimes, damage to the Shockwave Player
that's already installed can prevent your upgrading to the latest
Shockwave Player. This can usually be fixed by uninstalling, then
reinstalling the Shockwave Player.
1. Download and run the Shockwave uninstaller for Mac OS and Windows:
Shockwave Player uninstaller (Mac OS - PowerPC):
http://download.shockwave.com/pub/shockwave/uninstaller/sw8uninstaller.hqx
Shockwave Player uninstaller (Windows):
http://download.shockwave.com/pub/shockwave/uninstaller/sw8uninstaller.exe
2. Next, uninstall Flash Player. Delete the Flash Player plugin
for Internet Explorer here:
Windows 95/98/ME-- C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\Macromed\flash\flash.ocx [OR
"swflash.ocx"]
Windows NT-- C:\Winnt\System32\Macromed\flash.ocx [OR "swflash.ocx"]
Macintosh-- Delete the "Shockwave Flash NP-PPC" file,
located in the Plug-Ins folder of your browser.
3. Also delete the Netscape Flash Player plugin if you have it:
Windows-- C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\Plugins\NPSWF32.dll
4. After you've uninstalled Shockwave and Flash Players, you can
reinstall them:
http://www.macromedia.com/downloads
In some cases, it's actually the browser which is preventing the
successful installation of Shockwave Player. In such instances,
simply reinstalling Shockwave Player may not work. Reinstalling
or updating the browser, then installing Shockwave Player should
take care of this.
For other questions about Shockwave Player, contact Macromedia directly:

I’m
having trouble connecting to your site, or I keep losing my Internet
connection. What do I do?
If you are having general problems connecting
to the Internet or keeping your connection, try one or each of the
following:
* Disconnect from and reconnect to the Internet
* Disconnect from the Internet, restart your computer, and reconnect
to the Internet.
* Try connecting at a later time. Your Internet Service Provider
(ISP) may be busy and can't allow more connections.

I
have a Macintosh computer. When I tried to play Wrestle Large™,
an error message appeared that said "could not open application
x.html plug-in is needed".
You may need to increase the amount of memory that is allocated
to your browser. Find and select your browser on your hard drive.
Choose Get Info from the File menu. If you are using Mac OS 8.5
or later, choose Memory from the pop-up menu. Increase the Preferred
size.
(top)
Sometimes
I don't hear sound on the site. What can I do to hear sound on my
Windows computer?
Most
sound issues seem to be the result of a damaged or outdated driver
for the sound card. Make sure you have the latest driver for your
sound card. You can usually get the latest version of your sound
card's driver software from the manufacturer of your computer.
Other factors include:
Sometimes, the sound issues are related to the way Windows handles
sound. Windows prioritizes .WAV sounds in the following way: Applications
playing .WAV sounds will mask sounds played by other applications
that are subsequently launched. You can work around this issue by
closing Shockwave or Flash applications while you listen to RealPlayer,
and vice versa. Upgrading to the latest version of Shockwave Player
should resolve most sound issues.
Disconnected speaker or headphones inadvertently plugged in: Check
all connections.
Improperly set volume levels in the operating system: Check the
volume settings of your computer. If you have speakers, verify that
the volume is turned up and not muted.
Windows
1. Click on the Start button
2. Choose Settings -> Control Panel
3. Double-click on Sound and Multimedia
4. Click the Audio tab at the top of the dialog box
