Why do I get an error page (page not found) whenever I click on one of the lessons in the videos list.

This problem may occur if you have been logged into your subscription account for a long period of time and have been inactive. To fix this problem, you will have to re-login to your account - close all browser windows, re-open your web browser, go back to www.mathtv.com, and log in to your account again.

What is the difference between the Basic Math and Prealgebra videos?

Very little. Basic Math and Prealgebra share the same videos. The video lists for each subject are arranged differently to more closely resemble textbooks for those subjects. Depending on the class and/or textbook you have, you may find it easier to view the videos from the standpoint of the Basic Math video list or vice versa.

Why isn't the sound and video matching up?

If you are experiencing some "lag time" between the sound and video in RealPlayer, please make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements. This problem is usually caused by one or more components that are not fully capable of displaying the video at an optimal level. The minimum system requirements are:

300Mhz Pentium II processor or equivalent
64MB of RAM
65,000-color video card set to display at 800x600
16-bit sound card and speakers
56K modem (cable or DSL recommended)
Windows 98SE / ME / NT4.0 / 2000 / XP or Mac OS
Internet Explorer 5.0 or later
RealPlayer 9 (RealOne) or higher

If you meet the minimum system requirements and are still experiencing lag, please try one or more of the following:

1. Close all other running software programs including those running in the Windows system tray.
2. Check for updates to RealPlayer and download the latest version if necessary.
3. Look for updated drivers for your sound and/or video cards. Visit the web site of your computer's manufacturer for more information.
4. Check your Internet connection speed. If you are on dial-up, try reconnecting or choosing another local connection number in order to gain the fastest connection possible.

If you still experience lag or slow performance, it will most likely be a result of a slow Internet connection. If you connect to the Internet using a 56k or slower dial-up modem and are still getting lag after trying all possible solutions, please contact us. You may be better off purchasing a CD-ROM.

I'm using RealPlayer 8. Why do I get a pop-up message forcing me to upgrade?

If you have RealPlayer version 8, or previous version, installed on your computer, you may get a warning message that pops up immediately when you try to play a video. This is normal. The videos available through the MathTV.com online subscription use a newer video codec that is not compatible with RealPlayer 8. This new codec allows for higher quality video and better performance over the Internet. You must upgrade to the RealPlayer 9 (RealOne) or higher in order to view the online videos.

Why can't I find the FREE version of RealPlayer?

It may be difficult to find where to download the latest free version of RealPlayer on the Real web site. You can download the free player here. If this link does not work for you follow these instructions:

1. Go to www.real.com.
2. In the upper right-hand corner, under the blue menu bar and "?" (question mark), you will see a link labeled "FREE RealPlayer". Click on this link.
3. Follow the instructions on the following page to complete the free RealPlayer download.

I just cancelled my subscription. Now what?

CANCELLING YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL NOT CANCEL THE EXISTING PERIOD YOU'VE ALREADY PAID FOR. It merely cancels future automatic payments. For example, if you signed up for a subscription on the 5th day of the month and now decide to cancel on the 20th day of the same month, your subscription access remains active until the 5th day of the following month. After that day you will no longer be automatically charged for future monthly payments.
