Issues
Do you have download accelerator, spyware
elimination, or adware elimination software on your
computer?
You may need to disable these softwares while
you are using Blackboard. They have been found to
interfere with Blackboard when used in conbination
with certain web browsers and operating systems.
If you do not have spyware/adware
elimination software, you may have spyware on
your computer which can also cause login
problems. In this case, you may need to get an
elimination program to clean up your computer.
Do you have an Internet companion
software such as Yahoo Companion or HotBar
OR do you have an Internet optimizer?
Internet companion software can
interfere with access to some Blackboard
functions. Disable or delete such
software while using Blackboard. Your
Internet Service Provider might include
an Internet optimizer with your
software. You might need to disable this
software while using Blackboard.
