The Page I'm On Isn't Displaying Properly.

I’m Having Trouble Printing or Saving a Page.

• PRINTING: Most pages on BHG.com have a 'Print This' button which will take you to a printer-friendly page. If that is not available, you can print the page simply by pressing the 'Print' button on your browser or choosing 'Print' from the 'File' menu.
• SAVING: If you wish to save a page for future viewing, we recommend that you either use the 'Email This' function to email the story to yourself or add the page to your Bookmarks or Favorites.

I'm Having Trouble Using The Arrange-A-Room Tool.

• In order to solve your issue, please try removing & re-installing or upgrading Flash by clicking here.
• Sometimes it will not work on a resolution of 800x600 or below. Try using a resolution of 1024x768 or higher. To change your resolution, right click on your desktop and then left click on Properties. In the box that comes up click the "Settings" tab. In the screen resolution box there is a slider, move the slider so that it says 1024x768 or higher, and click "OK".
• If you're still having difficulty with the tool, please send the following information to our support team at bhgeditor@meredith.com: 
  • Operating System (Windows 95,98,ME,2000,XP or Mac OS 8.x,9.x,X):

I'm Having Trouble With Flash, RealPlayer, or Windows Media Player.

• Flash, RealPlayer and Windows Media Player are called plug-ins. Plug-ins are software programs that expand your Web browser's functions. On BHG.com, for example, we may use Flash animations. In order to view these mini-movies, you must have the Flash Player plug-in. Other plug-ins allow you to listen to sound files, zoom in on images, and take advantage of other special features.
• Any time we include a file that requires a plug-in, we warn you in advance and tell you how to obtain the plug-in software. In most cases, plug-ins are available for free if you are willing to download them from the maker. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully to make certain that your computer is compatible with any plug-ins you download.
• You can download plug-ins at these locations:
  • Macromedia Flash Player 
  • RealNetworks RealPlayer 
  • Microsoft Windows Media Player
