Desktop Support Compatibility Check

Thank You For Choosing ORDERS Plus.  Our Desktop Support System allows our Technical, IT and Training Staff to connect to your desktop and provide the services that we offer.

Step #1.  Check Compatibility

 

Select this option from each computer in which service will be provided.  At the conclusion of the test, select the "EMAIL RESULTS" Button.  If this test is not successful, read the details about the results of the test to determine the problem.  Most problems are related to Pop-up Blocking and the Java Compiler in use.

Resolving System Incompatibility Issues

If the computer was not able to pass the compatibility test, please review the following subjects to resolve the problem.  Note: We only support the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer.  Other 3rd Party Browsers may or may not work.  However, we cannot provide troubleshooting assistance.

Disable Pop-Up Blocking

The most common incompatibility issue is related to not allowing pop-ups or more commonly called Pop-up Blocking. If using Microsoft Internet Explorer, select TOOLS > POP-UP BLOCKER > TURN OFF POP-UP BLOCKER.  Close Internet Explorer, then check compatibility again.

If the compatibility checks still indicates POPUPS ALLOWED: FALSE or NO and you are convinced Popup Blocking is disabled in your browser, you may also have other 3rd party applications that are blocking pop-ups.  3rd Party Applications like the Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar or an Internet Security Suite, may also have their own pop-up blockers which also need to be disabled.

Enable Microsoft VM JIT Compiler

The second most common problem is related to the installation of the Virtual Java Machine for Microsoft Internet Explorer supplied with Microsoft Windows.

  1. First, select the Tools Menu > Internet Options > Advanced Tab

  2. Scroll down approximately 2/3rds of the way down to the section that reads: Microsoft VM.  If no section labeled Microsoft VM exists, you will need to download and install the Microsoft Java Machine.  Select Here to Download MS Java Machine

  3. Make sure the checkbox next to: JIT Compiler for Virtual Machine Enabled is selected.

  4. If Java (Sun) is located just above the Microsoft VM section, make sure the checkbox next to: Java (Sun) Use JRE..is NOT Selected.  Basically, confirm that Microsoft VM JIT Compiler is selected and Java (Sun) is not selected.

  5. If neither Microsoft VM or Java (Sun) exist, then Select Here to Download MS Java Machine

  6. Reboot your computer and check compatibility again.

MS Java Machine Download Instructions

  1. Click on the Download and select "Save". Place this on your computer where it will be easily accessible to you.

  2. After the download is complete, click on the file where you have saved it.

  3. You will be asked if you want to install. Click Yes.

  4. You will be asked to accept the license agreement. Click OK and follow Wizard instructions.

  5. Installation Completed OK will pop-up, and installation is finished.

To Confirm Installation of the MS Java Machine, please follow these instructions:

Open Internet Explorer.

  1. Click on Tools from the Top.

  2. Select Internet Options from the dropdown menu.

  3. Select the Advanced Tab.

  4. Scroll down the menu items (they are in alphabetical order), until you see Microsoft VM or Java, and make sure the boxes are checked. If you do not see Microsoft VM, you will need to download it from this page.

  5. If any changes are made, select the Apply button, then OK, before closing.

  6. Restart your computer.

  7. Resume browser check.

Adding Trusted Sites to Internet Explorer

When interacting with the CustomerCare Center and Online Help Desk, it may be necessary to update your internet browser settings to include our websites as Trusted Sites. This is typically needed with Windows Server 2003 and/or other secure operating systems.

Typically, most browsers have security settings that relate who you consider to be a trusted site. Interacting with ORDERS Plus may require that we are considered a trusted site. Add the following information to your trusted sites list:

*.ordersplus.com
*.ordersplus-ecommerce.com

Make sure the "Require Server Verification (https:) for all sites in this zone" is not selected.

 

If a Problem Still Persists, please have your IT people perform the tasks above or have them review the following Technical Document.
