Audio and Video Issues

1. Why won’t my audio play?

Answer: Most of the time, this is a simple fix:

• Make sure your speakers are turned on.
• Make sure the volume control on your computer is set high enough.
  (Double-click the speaker or audio icon on your desktop menu bar, and adjust the volume. Or access your control panel, select the "Sound" category, and adjust the volume for your computer system.)
• Make sure your speaker is not on "mute." If your mute option is turned on, a red line will usually appear across your speaker or audio icon. Simply click it, and de-select the mute option.
• Test your computer sound by going to another website (like You Tube or CNN) to see if you can hear audio on a non-HealthCare Interactive site.
• From within one of our training programs, roll your cursor over the speaker icon to make sure the volume on the product is set high enough.
• In case your audio settings were accidentally changed, shut down and restart your computer. This can often reset your audio settings.

2. How do I turn off the narrator within a training program?

Answer: If you prefer not to hear the narrator within one of our training programs, you can do one of the following:

• Turn off your computer speakers.
• On the bottom bar of most of our programs, look for a "Read To Me" button. Click on it, and turn the narrator off.
• In case your audio settings were accidentally changed, shut down and restart your computer, which may reset them.

3. Why won’t my video clips play?

Answer: Video issues happen for one of only three reasons.

• You do not have Adobe® Flash® Player installed. Please install the latest free version at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
• Your facility or organization blocks online videos, MP3 files, or Flash video files. Please check with your IT (Information Technology) department. If you are blocking these files, an administrative request may have to be made to specifically allow files from the "www.hcinteractive.com server."
• Your firewall is blocking online videos, MP3 files, or Flash video files. Please check you setting, or check with your IT department.

4. Why does my video stop and start...or play in a “choppy” way?

Answer: Some of our customers experience "choppy" videos. This usually happens for one of only a few reasons.

• You are not on a high-speed connection (DSL/Cable/T1/T3) to the Internet.
  Our programs are highly video based and require a high-speed Internet connection. If you "dial in" or reconnect to the Internet each time you use it, you may have a dial-up connection to the Internet. A dial-up connection will cause video to appear “choppy.”
• There are too many people using the Internet from your network.
  If you work for an organization with many other computer users, or if you are accessing the program from a coffee shop or other location with many other users, there may be too much network traffic to handle the videos in our programs. As a test, try logging on in the early morning or late evening to see if you experience similar issues.

Remember: You can always access our training programs from any computer with a high-speed Internet connection. So, if you are having trouble accessing the video clips within our program, try a different computer at the library, a friend or relative’s house, at work, at school, or at a coffee shop.

Printing Certificates

1. Why can’t I print my online training certificate of completion?

Answer: To print your certificate of completion, you must access or view every screen in every module of the program. You must also spend the minimum amount of time in each module reading or listening to the text, viewing all videos, and completing all activities. Doing so will also increase your ability to score well on the Alzheimer's Association essentiALZ certification exam if you are completing CARES Dementia Basics or CARES Dementia Advanced Care programs.

To see your progress, simply click the "View Course Progress" button on the Main Menu of the online training program you are completing.

• A green check mark means you have completed the requirements for the designated module.
• A red X means you have not viewed or accessed each screen in the designated module and/or have not spent enough time on each screen. Go back to each of these modules and complete more screens or spend more time in the module until you have a green check mark.

2. My computer is not hooked up to a printer, but I completed all of the modules. How do I print my certificate?

Answer: Don’t worry. You can print your certificate from any computer that is connected to a printer and has Internet access. Your course progress has been saved and won’t be lost by changing computers. Simply log in to the program again on the computer that is connected to a printer. Use the same Product Key you used to access the program on the first computer. Then click the Print Completion Certificate button from the Main Menu.
