Video/Audio doesn't play when I click them Lise's webzine uses audio and video files in Apple Quicktime format. To play these files, you must install the Apple Quicktime Plugin on your machine. To update your version of Apple Quicktime, click here. Lise's video files are formatted for a broadband or high-speed Internet connection. These are very big files, 5-15 Megabytes in size. If you are on a dial-up connection, there will be a very long wait for these videos to play, and your connection may time out, which means they may not play at all. If you are using Internet Explorer on a Macintosh computer, the Quicktime plugin may not function. If you are using Mac OSX, try using either Safari or Mozilla FireFox for Macintosh OSX. If you are using system 9 or earlier on a Macintosh, the only browser available is Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.1.7, and Apple doe snot support that browser with the Quicktime plugin.

I keep hearing "clicks" from your web pages. It's really annoying This site uses scripts that rotate pages and features within pages. Internet Explorer has a "click" feature most people don't know how to or even realize they can turn off. If you have more than one explorer window open, these clicks can get really annoying. Luckily, you can turn this feature off. Click START—CONTROL PANELS—SOUNDS and select SOUNDS and AUDIO DEVICES. Select the SOUNDS tab, scroll down to Windows Explorer, and find the START NAVIGATION sound. In the pulldown menu below it, you will see the sound selected for this activity, 'Windows XP Start.' If you click the arrow to the right of it, you will confirm this is, indeed, that annoying click sound. Select NONE from the pulldown menu (it is at the top of the list). You can then click SAVE AS and name this sound scheme something (so it'll be easier to turn the click back on, though I can't imagine why anyone would want to. It's among Microsoft's more annoying innovations, and turning it off should be a LOT easier than this).

I have problems reading Lise's eMail I get annoying warnings from Internet Explorer every time I use this site. Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, has incorporated new safety tools in windows XP. If you own a new computer or have automatic updates turned on, your computer has likely installed Windows XP Service Pack 2, which incorporates these new safety features. While they have definite advantages, these new features also come with cumbersome warnings and alerts that most people do not know how to turn off. Lise's new eMail is formatted like a web page. Most newer eMail readers like Microsoft Outlook and Eudora should be able to display HTML eMail messages properly. Lise's eMail uses a wallpaper graphic that should download when the message displays. If your computer is very old or very new, you may experience problems with this function. Older computers may not be capable of displaying HTML eMail messages. Lise's eMail messages should display in plain text. Newer machines, running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or higher, have annoying security protocols in place which may prevent the wallpaper from downloading from Lise's web site. If you do not see our wallpaper in eMail sent from Lise, your computer is probably blocking the image. If you use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express: right-click on the message in the In Box window, select Junk Mail and then Add Sender's Domain To Your Safe Sender's List. Lise's wallpaper should display once you've informed your computer that we're okay! To use Lise's web site (and eMail) with the new, over-protective Windows XP Service Pack 2, we strongly suggest you add lisehunt.com to your list of Trusted Websites. Click TOOLS and choose INTERNET OPTIONS.
In the INTERNET OPTIONS window, select SECURITY. Click on TRUSTED SITES. DE-SELECT the little box that says "Require Server Verification." Add this domain to your Trusted Sites (you can copy and paste them): Click OK.
Try viewing Lise's eMail again. The wallpaper should download. Try viewing Lise's web site again. Most alerts should now be gone.

firewalls & privacy protection
Ok, I added the site to my
Trusted Sites list, Many new home computers come with firewalls and other privacy protections preinstalled. Unfortunately, many of these products re-write web pages "on the fly," adding proprietary code that interferes with web pages as they load. Many of these products require you to be a rocket scientist to understand how to use them. Here are some basic steps you can take to assure your over-protective firewall that this site is, indeed, safe to view. If these steps do not help, please contact our webmaster for additional help.
Windows XP Service
Pack 2 Firewall
Click SITES:
Type in the following web site addresses (you can copy and paste them). Click ALLOW for each added domain: Click OK. Then click the SETTINGS button in the Pop-up Blocker section:
Type in the following web site addresses (you can copy and paste them): Click CLOSE and then OKAY to exit.
Norton Internet Security Firewall If you have Norton (NIS) installed, there should be a pull-down menu in the upper right-hand corner of your Internet Explorer Window. Click that menu and, from the list, choose the security settings for this site (Allow PopUps and so forth). If that does not help, your firewall settings are probably set very high, which will require you to configure your firewall to access this site. This is a little complicated, and we apologize for the hassle, but we're not making this stuff up:
Screenshot 1 - Norton Internet Security 1. Open Norton Internet Security 2. Click on Privacy Control 3. Click on "Configure" button
Screenshot 2 - Privacy Control 4. In Privacy Control - Click on the Advanced button
Screenshot 3 - Advanced Web Contents Options 5. Click on the Add Site button
Screenshot 4 - New Site/Domain 6. Type in the following web site address (you can copy and paste them): 7. click OK
8. Select each new domain you have just added 9. under "information about visited sites"
10. Return to Step 5 and add the list of domains listed below: Close Norton and delete your Temporary Internet Files (in Internet Explorer, click TOOLS and INTERNET OPTIONS and then click DELETE FILES from the Temporary Internet Files section). Close Internet Explorer then open a new Internet Explorer window and re-load the web site. That should tell Norton to stop messing with the site. MacAfee's firewall configures similarly, see your owner's manual for details.

The graphics look blurry and pixilated. What's up with that? If you are using AOL, many of our graphics may appear blurred or pixilated. This is because AOL uses a graphics compression scheme that saves you time downloading but makes the graphics look absolutely terrible. If you are using an "optimized" or "high speed" dialup connection, most likely your "top speed" or "optimized" dialup connection achieves its speed by short-changing you on the graphics: by downloading low-resolution alternatives to our graphics. We work very hard to create the best quality graphics we can achieve at a minimum file size for optimum downloading speed. Whether you want fast speed or better-looking graphics is ultimately your choice. To improve the quality of your visit here, you should turn compressed graphics OFF in your web browser.

I'm using AOL to view the site and the site doesn't seem to work. This site is not compatible with AOL's built-in web browser. Their web browser looks like Microsoft Internet Explorer, but it is really a proprietary version of MSIE, designed to block and interfere with web sites AOL doesn't like. Many of our Special edition pages are designed to be viewed in Kiosk or "Full Screen: mode, and AOL's web browser does not permit that. We STRONGLY discourage use of AOL's built-in web browser to view this web site. Instead, we encourage you to login to AOL (if that is your only internet connection) and, once you've logged on, launch Internet Explorer by clicking START and selecting INTERNET EXPLORER. Then load our web site in MSIE. To log off, you must exit AOL. You have to go out the way you came in. If you used AOL to connect to the Internet, you must exit AOL when you wish to disconnect. Otherwise your computer will continue to redial into AOL to attempt to re-establish your Internet connection. This sounds more complicated than it actually is. Why the site doesn't work with AOL: AOL's web browser LOOKS like Microsoft Internet Explorer, but it is NOT MSIE. Microsoft and AOL had a falling out a little bit ago, and Microsoft no longer properly supports AOL's program. AOL wants to sell you stuff. AOL wants to push stuff on you and control what you see on your computer screen. Thus, AOL will not allow you to view websites in full screen mode. Full screen mode covers AOL completely, and AOL will not allow that. AOL uses compressed graphics by default. This doesn't allow JavaScript to work while browsing inside AOL (additionally, this makes photos you view on web pages look less than optimal). If you are bound and determined to use AOL's crummy web browser, you could try switching the graphics to UNCOMPRESSED and dumping the browser cache. Believe me, launching Internet Explorer is MUCH EASIER and SIMPLER and MORE EFFECTIVE. But, if you're a die-hard AOL fan, try this: 1. Click Settings. 2. Click Preferences.
3. Click Internet Properties (WWW).
4. Click Web Graphics tab. 5. Check Never Compress Graphics.
6. Click OK Restart the computer. If the site STILL does not load properly, I strongly urge you to not use AOL's browser. Launch Internet Explorer as directed above. |
I Clicked A Link And Nothing Happened! Most of the pages on this site use a transitional effect that blends the incoming page with the existing one. In order for this effect to work, your computer must draw the new page before it releases the old page. If you click a link and nothing happens, your computer is probably assembling the new page, downloading the graphics and getting the page completely drawn before it releases the page you are on. This slowness is especially evident if you are using a dial-up modem connection. Once you have visited the site a few times, this wait will become less and less of an issue, as your Web Browser will be storing many of these images in its memory (cache). One thing you should do, if you are using a dialup modem connection: check your connection speed. Click on the flashing dual terminal icon on the task bar and see how fast your connection is. The fastest dialup connection speed currently available is 56.6 kbs. But, just because your modem says it's 56.6kps doesn't mean you are actually getting that speed. Your actual speed is whatever your phone company lets you have. If your actual speed is 33kps or less, this site will load very slowly and likely drive you nuts. If you have a poor connection speed, check your manuals for the manufacturer of your modem. Then visit your modem manufacturer's web site to download the latest driver for you modem. This may help increase your modem's efficiency. BACK TO TOP

Mac System 9 users: Microsoft Internet
Explorer no longer supports the Macintosh platform.
As a result, Apple's Quicktime plugin may not work for Microsoft Internet Explorer for
Macintosh. If you are using Macintosh System 9 or
earlier, you may not be able to access this Mac OSX users: If Lise's site does not load properly, behaves weirdly or draws pages in a weird way, you can tell Safari to behave like Microsoft Internet Explorer by changing your User Agent setting. Select "user agent" from the Safari "debug" menu and choose MSIE 6.0 as your user agent. Then reload Lise's site, and the Windows version of the site should load (it will say "Optimized for Microsoft Internet Explorer" on the start page). You can also view Lise's site with Mozilla FireFox for Macintosh OSX or Internet Explorer on Windows XP BACK TO TOP

Lise's site opens a window frame that requires your computer's
monitor to be set at a minimum resolution
of 1024x768 pixels. If your monitor's resolution is set
lower than 1024x768, this window will not be drawn properly and
you won't be able to navigate the site.
If you are not sure what size your monitor's screen is, right click on your desktop and select the "Settings" tab from the "Properties" menu. In Macintosh OSX, select System Preferences from the Apple Menu and then choose "Displays." In Macintosh OS9, choose "Monitors and Sound" from the Control Panels beneath the Apple Menu or from the control strip at the bottom of your desktop. BACK TO TOP

If this is your first visit, you may notice a lot of these pages take a very long time loading. Particularly if you are using a dialup modem connection (as opposed to a cable modem or DSL, ISDN or T1 connection, as many people have at work). You do not need a high-speed connection to visit this website, but if you are using a dialup connection, you will need a little patience. This site is fairly graphics intensive, and some pages also have fairly large MP3 files that download when you access those pages for the first time. Once you've visited these pages, and patiently waited for the graphics and sound to download, your next visit should be no wait at all. Your web browser, ideally, should cache these pages and these images so, on your next visit, the page should load much faster.
