Blackboard Known Problems & Solutions
Your web browser is the
main
interface with Blackboard.
It
is highly recommended that you install and use at least
three different web browsers on your computer. When something does not look or work correctly on one, simply try
again using another.
The
default web browser on a PC is Internet Explorer and
Safari on a Mac. It is recommended
that you you also install Mozilla
Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ie.html and Google Chrome https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/.
These
are free and work
on
both PCs and Macs.
CHAT PROBLEMS (typed
version) Here
are the three most common issues that cause the Chat
window for typed
chat not to open, and the solutions:
1. A pop-up blocker is active. Some software is
specifically
designed to block all pop-ups. Since the chat window is
a pop-up, the
blocker must be disabled in order for your to
participate in chat.
Check to see that you do not have an active pop-up
blocker, and if you
do, disable it.
2. If you are working in a networked environment, your router may be configured to block pop-up windows. Check whether this is the case, and if so, disable the function.
3. Chat is a function of
JAVA, and different "flavors" of Windows have different
characteristics. If the window in Blackboard for chat
does not open,
follow the on screen directions to download and install
the version of
Java required. You can download the latest version by
clicking here.
Often the following
types
of problems will cause Blackboard not to display mail
properly, chat
will fail to load, pages won't totally open, etc.
Included are possible
solutions to the issues.
Virus
- If
you are not already running anti-virus software, you
would be wise to
purchase and install one of the many on the market. If
you have
installed an anti-virus program, keep it up to date. New
virus forms
are constantly being developed by people with more time
on their hands
than sense. If you computer is starting to do
unpredictable things, run
a scan to see if a virus could be the cause. If you want
to run a free
scan from the web, go to http://www.trendmicro.com
and use their HouseCall feature located in the Free
Tools
area. It works well, but is not a substitute for having
a program
installed. One such free program is AVG and can be
downloaded at http://www.avg.com/us-en/download?prd=afg.
Spyware
-
Some websites install spyware on your computer to see
and report what
you are doing. This happens without your realizing
anything is being
installed. You can go to http://www.download.com.
Use
the search box to search for Spybot. Download, install,
and run
Spybot - Search and Destroy. It is offered free by a
group interested
in keeping the Internet safe.
Another excellent free program for
removing Spyware
is called SuperAntiSpyware. Download, install, and run
the free home
user version.
Ad-Aware
-
Like spyware, these track where you go on the net in
order to better
target advertising when you go to a site. They are
installed without
your knowledge as you surf the web. You can download
Ad-Aware free at
http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10045910.html?legacy=cnet.
Install and run this software to detect and delete
ad-ware from your
computer.
-
This is the official email of the university. You will receive notification of financial aid awards, deadlines, etc. through this account, so you do need to check it.

If you do not have your password, contact ITS@cui.edu and include a contact phone number or you can call them at 949 214-3175.
