How do I play audio programs? PDF Print E-mail

If you are trying to play files instead of downloading them to your computer, first try clicking on the link (left click as normal). If this doesn't work, follow the instructions below.

Internet Explorer:

Right click on the link and choose "open link"

1. Click on the "Tools" Menu option (top of browser window)
2. Choose "Options..." (at the bottom of the list)
