• There is a "bug" when trying to open MS office documents in Blackboard CE6 and when using IE simultaneously. Work around.

• IE crashes when I am on Blackboard. I cannot even run the Browser Check.
  Find the solution in this document that tells you how to uninstall Java and install the proper Java version.

• I use a 2006/2005 version of Norton Internet Security or Norton AntiSpam. I need to unblock popups
