Workstation Prep – Required Ancillary Software Workstation Prep - Ancillary Software FAQ ** Java Runtime Environment JRE ® Operating Systems: PC, MAC, LINUX Supported JRE Versions: FAQ Troubleshooting Tip: Blue screen or white screen appears upon launch of TDC. Java and Air updates may occur. The recommendation is to turn off the auto update feature. If a java/air update request occurs during launch of TDC, typically the TDC cannot complete the launch. The result is a blue or white screen. Usually, the update prompt window is behind the blue/white screen, so the user is not aware of the request. ** Adobe Air ® Operating Systems: PC, LINUX Supported Air Versions: ** Adobe Flash ® Operating Systems: MAC Supported Flash Versions: Slide 25
