If I have Wingspan login problems, what do I
need to do? |
 |
- Be sure NOT to double click. Double
clicking logs you out of the Wingspan system.

browsers are incompatible with the Wingspan system.
- Check your browser version. Please
use Internet Explorer version 5.5 or later or Netscape version
7.1 or later.
- Do you have a download accelerator?
If so, you will need to deactivate the accelerator when using
Wingspan.
- Are you accessing Wingspan through a firewall?
Firewalls do not allow for the necessary communication between
your computer and Wingspan.
- Check your security settings. Check
your cookie settings.
- Internet Explorer users,
check your security settings by going to the
Tools Menu, then Internet Options. Click on
the Security tab. Your Internet Zone should
be set to Medium or Low, and your Trusted Sites
setting should be set to Low.

check your cookie settings by going to the
Edit Menu, then to Preferences. Choose the
