Help viewing this site...
1) I can't hear St. Nicholas' Apolitikion.
There may be several causes for this. First make sure that you have speakers which are connected to the proper sound output port on your computer. Check that the power to your speakers is on and the volume is properly set. Also check the volume control in your system's control panel.
For Windows 95/98 systems, double-click the little speaker in the lower right corner of your
screen. This will lauch a volume control panel. Check that the volume is properly set.The RealAudio player also has a volume control. Check that it too is properly set.
If you are prompted to "Save" or "Open" the file, you probably do not have RealAudio installed. You can download a copy of RealAudio for free.
If you have RealAudio installed but get a file error message you probably have an older version of RealAudio which is not compatible with the current file format. Please download the current version of RealAudio for free.

2) When I click to play St. Nicholas' Apolitikion I get a message

3) When I click on the photos in the Church Tour section
the frame which is supposed to contain the explanation
does not correspond to or change with the photo.This is because you are using an older version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer or a brower which is not Microsoft Internet Explorer or greater. You can still navigate through the site using the text hyperlinks or other onscreen controls. Or, you can download a copy of Microsoft's Internet Explorer.

This happens when your screen resolution is set for 640 x 480. If your video adapter and monitor are capable of higher resolutions set them to 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 or higher. This will give you more space on the screen.
For Windows 95/98 systems, click the right mouse button while the mousepointer is over the desktop. Select "Properties" then "Settings" and follow the onscreen directions for changing the resolution.
You can also change the resolution by double-clicking "Display" in the Control Panel.
5) The photos/videos have weird colors/appear gray and red.
This happens when your video adapter is set for less than 256 colors. Change your settings to 256 colors or greater and the photos will appear normal.
For Windows 95/98 systems, click the right mouse button while the mousepointer is over the desktop. Select "Properties," then "Settings," then "Color palette" and follow the onscreen prompts.
You can also change your display settings by double-clicking "Display" in the Control Panel.
6) When I try to play an Apolitikion or video the system asks me if I
want to "Save to disk" or "Open" the file. Why isn't it playing?This is because you do not have a RealAudio/Video player installed or it is improperly configured. If you do not have a RealAudio/Video player, you can download one for free.

If your RealAudio/Video player is improperly configured or installed contact RealAudio for support.
7) When I try to email to one of the Church contacts, it doesn't work.
Most likely your email program is not installed or configured properly. Please see your system's documentation for help or contact your system administrator for help.

9) How can I view Greek fonts/pages? What is WEFT?
This web site displays Greek in four ways:
- As bitmaps - this method is viewable by all browsers that support the display of bitmapped graphics
- As text using the "Symbol" font - this method is viewable by all browsers which support the "Symbol" font or fonts which are in the "Symbol" family.
- As text using Greek fonts - this method is viewable by all browsers which have multi-language support. See below for information about installing multi-language support on your computer. This method is commonly used to display modern Greek.
- As text using embedded Greek fonts "WEFT" - this method is viewable by Microsoft's Internet Explorer. This method, know as WEFT, does not require multi-language support or fonts on the user's computer. This method is used to display Biblical Greek. Since the standard multi-language support for Greek does not provide fonts for Biblical Greek, we use WEFT to display texts which are written in Biblical Greek. The advantages of using this method are 1) the texts can be viewed, read and printed in their authentic form and, 2) the web site visitor does not need to purchase a font license to view these texts. The disadvantage is that this technology is currently supported only by Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
Multi-language Support:
Some pages contain a combination of standard Greek fonts and English fonts. To view these properly your browser and system must be set up for multi-language support. The link below will help you configure your system.Please click here to learn how to configure your browser for Greek.
If your browser does not support languages other than English please download a copy of Microsoft's Internet Explorer or a higher version if you already have it installed. IE5 has built-in multi-language support which will make it easier to view Greek fonts, etc.

10) The videos appear jerky...
This is normal. The videos were rendered for 28.8K modems which means the quality of the video is lost in order to be able to view at a slow speed. Future videos will be optimized for higher connection speeds.
