1. HOW BEST TO USE THESE VIDEOS:

2.  click on video you want to watch.

3.  If it looks good you can go to FULL SCREEN by clicking on the little screen icon at the lower left of the video.  Also you might try the controls on your Browser. Also you might want to use the HD/HQ function, in the lower right,  in some of the clips. This will get you High Definition ( better) but at the expense of frequent reloads if you have a lower bandwidth connection.

4. Adjust volume  and other controls are  across the bottom of each Video. TheVolume control is in the middle right.  On Volume you may want to change it also on your computer for the correct volume you want. Some of these have quite low volume and need more than the internal volume control will provide

5. If the Video won't come up it is often due to your machine not having the right format/protocol player installed.  usually you will get an installer for that plug in or add-on. Install them and it should work. In a few cases you need to hit the PLAY ( || , █ , ►etc.) Button.  Also might want to go to our FREE Codex Updating section under our Freeware and install Other Codecs that you might need. CLICK HERE  to do so

6. To get the most out of these videos that teach the workings of programs, open the program in a second window and do the steps discussed as you go along. Hit the Pause button to stop the video as you try the steps and figure it out.
