ESA Portal Help


The ESA Portal is optimised for use with Internet Explorer version 5.x and Netscape Navigator version 6.2.x for Windows and Macintosh. These browsers can be obtained for free from http://www.microsoft.com or http://www.netscape.com

Users with other or older browsers may experience slightly different results.

Some special features of the ESA Portal require the Flash 8 plug-in. If you do not already have this, it can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

All videos on the site are either in RealPlayer, Quicktime, or Windows Media file formats (some are made available in several formats). If you do not currently have a compatible video plug-in, they can be downloaded from:

http://www.real.com/
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/

ESA takes no responsibility for the content of external sites.

Users accessing the site from behind a firewall may have difficulty accessing some features, for example the ESA forums and the Multimedia gallery. Please contact your network administrator if you experience difficulties; you might need to use a 'proxy server'.
