Q: What do I do if I forgot my password?
A: For At Home Series subscribers, you must have an email address and password to access the modules from your computer. If you forgot your password, then select the Forgot your username or password? link under the login area. Follow the instructions there. An email will be automatically generated with a new temporary password and sent to your email address. If your new password will not work, call your MindOH! representative so we can work together to solve the problem 713-533-1138.

For Discipline and Life Skills Series clients, please contact your school's MindOH! liaison. Or, contact customer support at customersupport@mindoh.com or 713-533-1138 for us to email you your School Login ID and password.

Q: In Windows XP do I have to re-register when I log on to the computer as a different user?
A: No. Especially with Windows NT or 2000 Domains, each logged-in user has his or her own Internet-related files (including cookies). So, if you are brought back to the purchase page users have to reinitialize machines, it could be because they are logged onto the network as a different user. The MindOH! cookie is good only for the user account it was created under, just like any other Internet parameter (favorites, etc.).

Q:  All I see is a gray screen when I start a module. Why doesn't the module start?  
A: If your browser has a built-in pop-up blocker, you need to disable it in order to download files, or at least allow it to accept files from http://www.mindoh.com. Some Norton products also have pop-up blockers which might need to be disabled. Another method to allow pop-ups is to hold down the <Ctrl> key in the bottom right hand corner of your keyboard while starting the module.

Q: Why does my shortcut launch Netscape Navigator even though I initialized the computer using Internet Explorer?
A: This happens because IE is not set as the default browser. Instructions to make Internet Explorer the default browser are at  Microsoft's Support site (see 5.x at the bottom of the page).

Q: Why didn’t my report print out after finishing the What’s Up? Module?
A: Check all printer connections to make sure they are secure. Go to the Windows "Print Dialog" box. Make sure the desired printer is selected.

Q: I finished a module and then clicked on the small ”Quit” button at the bottom of the screen. I then clicked on the small type that appeared to verify I wanted to quit, but didn’t get a report printed out. Is my data still available?
A: Your data is lost. When this “Quit” option is selected in a module, a note appears warning that if you continue, your data will be lost. 

 back to top

Q: How do I exit the program once I start a module?
A: Push and hold down the <Alt> key and then simultaneously press the <F4> key to exit at any time. Another way to exit is to click the "Quit" tab at the bottom of the module screen, then click on the word "Here" that appears above the quit button.

 back to top

Q: If I quit in the middle of a module, can I continue later on at the point where I left off?
A: Once you leave the module, the information entered will not be saved, so you cannot start a module, close it, and return to the module later to start where you left off. The modules were intentionally designed to be completed in one sitting.

Q: How do I change the speaker volume in the middle of a module?
A: Press the windows icon key on your keyboard (usually in the lower left corner of your keyboard). If you do not have a windows key, then hold down the <Ctrl> key and then press the <Esc> key. This should make your Start menu and task bar show up. Double Click on the sound volume icon on the task bar (a little megaphone on the bottom right-hand side of the screen). Raise or lower the slider bar to the desired sound level and make sure the mute box is not checked.

Q: Why won’t the video load (either nothing is there or an error pops up)?
A:
The computer's processing speed or the Internet speed may cause you to experience a pause. High speed bandwidth, such as that provided through DSL or cable modems, is required to run this program. The recommended speed requirements to see the video in the MindOH! modules smoothly is 768K+ broadband connection or better or high speed broadband (DSL or cable modem) or better. Perform a bandwidth speed test.

Q: The video loads, but it takes a long time to load and it runs slowly.
A: The computer's processing speed or the Internet speed may cause you to experience a pause. Go to your System Control Panel. Check to see if your computer has the required 63MB RAM.

Q: What do I do if I received a “fatal exception" error?
A: Since the "fatal exception" errors indicate problems with the operating system or installed plug-ins (and most often Windows Media Player, not Flash), visit the Windows Media Player troubleshooting guide for information about reinstalling the player.

 back to top

Q: How do I check my bandwidth speed and what are the requirements?
A: High speed bandwidth is required to run this program. The recommended speed required to see the video portions in the MindOH! modules is 768k+ broadband connection or better, or high speed broadband (DSL or Cable modem) or better connection. Perform a bandwidth speed test.

Q:  Can I still access the data that shows up in reports?  
A: Once the MindOH! module is completed and the user has indicated that the report printed successfully, the data is no longer electronically accessible to the user.

 back to top

Q: What does MindOH! do with the data that is entered and is data secure?
A: MindOH! does not retain identifying information about any specific report and retains no text information that is entered by a user. MindOH! does collect survey information for analysis and reporting purposes. Any data transferred between an individual’s PC and MindOH!’s secure servers is protected by a SSL 128 bit encryption.

Q: Is my credit card information secure?
A:
Payment information is protected through a secure server supporting SSL encryption to collect customer information and credit card numbers. This encryption protects the storage and transmission of sensitive data. In addition, when an order is placed, the system notifies you of it via email.

Q: Is my personal information secure?
A: Personal information is protected through a secure server supporting SSL encryption to collect personal information and to establish passwords. This encryption protects the storage and transmission of sensitive data.
