Updating Media Programs

The Browser Tuneup utility tells you whether or not media players and plug-in programs are present on your computer and, when they are present, whether they are up to date.

To examine and update media programs or plug-ins

  1. On your Companion Website home page, click the Browser Tuneup button at the bottom of the page.
    You can also click this Browser Tuneup link to open and work with the Browser Tuneup.
  2. In the list of plug-in programs in the center of the Browser Tuneup window, examine which plug-ins are currently installed.
  3. For a plug-in that you need but which is not installed, click the Get It button to download the latest version. In some cases, you may need to register for the player or plug-in, and you may need to restart your computer when you finish the download and installation.
  4. For a plug-in that is installed, click the Test It button to verify that it functions properly. If it does not, follow the on-screen instructions to download a new version.
  5. When you finish installing the players or plug-ins your website requires, close the Browser Tuneup, restart your browser, then return to your Companion Website and continue work.
