3.     Getting Started

This section covers how to start MI DiscView 3.1 and includes a list of minimum system requirements.

3.1     System Requirements For Windows® XP

MI Disc View 3.1 requires IE Version 6 or above for Windows® XP.

3.2     Launching MI DiscView 3.1

If your system is configured to support Autoplay, MI DiscView 3.1 will launch automatically when the CD is inserted into the CD-ROM.

If MI DiscView 3.1 does not launch automatically, it can be started by double clicking the autorun.bat file in the main directory on your CD-ROM.

Note:      If you wish Autoplay to function and your CD does not support Autoplay, or Autoplay is not working, please contact your system administrator.

4.     Internet Explorer Settings

MI DiscView 3.1 runs within Internet Explorer, and depending on your IE security settings, it may require many additional setup steps as described below.

Section 3.3.1 defines how to set your IE security settings in order to minimize the number of security dialogs you will have to interact with when using MI DiscView 3.1. Note that this approach will allow other Active Content, unrelated to MI DiscView 3.1, to run as well. If this poses a problem, the solution provided in section 3.3.2 will allow MI DiscView 3.1 to run, but will require additional interaction with IE security dialogs.

4.1     How To Find Your Windows® XP Service Pack Level

This information is needed to determine how to configure IE.

·         From the Windows® XP taskbar, click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information

·         In the System Information window list, find Version, which is the Operating System version. The value for Version will indicate what the Service Pack level is.

4.2     For Systems With Windows® XP Service Pack 1 Installed

When you launch the MI DiscView 3.1 Advanced Viewer, a message pops up asking if you want to allow ActiveX control interaction. Click Yes to proceed. This must be done once per viewing session, if you keep your IE security settings above the lowest level of security (recommended).

 

4.3     For Systems With Windows® XP Service Pack 2 Installed

MI Disc View 3.1 works best when IE is configured to allow Active Content to run on your computer. Section 3.3.1 provides a step by step method to enable Active Content. If you do not want to modify your IE’s security settings, then you must follow the steps outlined in section 3.3.2 in order to use MI Disc View 3.1.

4.3.1     Option 1 – Minimal Interruptions, Lower Security

This section describes how to configure IE so that minimal browser security interruptions occur in your MI Disc View 3.1 viewing session.

To configure IE to allow active content launching:

7.      Click on Start > Control panel > Internet options.

Note:    If Internet option is restricted, please contact your system administrator.

The Internet Properties dialog box is displayed.

8.      Click on the Advanced tab.

9.      Under Settings, scroll down the window to Security.

10.  Check the Allow active content to run in files on My Computer item.

11.  Click OK to close Internet properties.

12.  Close all Internet Explorer windows if any are running.

13.  Click on Start > My Computer.

14.  Right click the CD-ROM, and then select Autoplay from the context menu.

If Autoplay is not enabled on your computer, double click the autorun.bat file in the main directory on your CD-ROM.

15.  When you launch Advanced Viewer, a message pops up asking if you want to allow ActiveX control interaction. Click Yes. This dialog must be clicked once per viewing session, if you keep your IE security settings above the lowest level of security (recommended).

 

4.3.2     Option 2 – Higher Security, More Interruptions

If your IE settings must remain with the highest levels of security, and the steps in section 3.3.1 do not agree with your security policy, the MI Disc View 3.1 can still be run if the following steps are performed once per viewing session.

To enable Active Content in Each IE Session:

1.       The first time you run MI Disc View 3.1, you may get a message that Active Content can harm your computer. Place a check mark beside "In the future, do not show this message."  then click Yes. This will stop IE from re-prompting the user to enable Active Content every time MI Disc View 3.1 is launched.

   

A yellow bar will show at the top of the browser screen, just below the Address bar, with a message about protecting your security.

      

2.      Right click the yellow bar and select "Allow Blocked Content…"

 

            

3.      Click Yes to allow the Active Content to run.

 

        

4.      The web page will go back to the study list page. Select the study again.

5.      Click Yes to allow ActiveX control interaction.

 

       

 

4.4     For Systems With Internet Explorer 7 (or Internet Explorer 6 with latest SP Installed)

In addition to all IE settings from previous sections (Section 3.3.1 or section 3.3.2) another step is necessary to allow MI Disc View 3.1 in IE7 and IE6 with latest patches.

 

1.      Click on Start > Control panel > Internet options.

The Internet Properties dialog box is displayed.

 

2.      Click on the Security tab.

3.      Select Local intranet picture to choose proper Web content zone

Note:    If Internet option is restricted as in picture below, please contact your system or domain administrator.

4.      Click Custom Level… button to launch Security Settings window

5.      Under Settings, scroll down the window to Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe.

6.      Choose Prompt radio button to allow ActiveX with manual control.

7.      Click OK to close Internet properties.

8.      Confirm changes through pop-up message box and press Apply
