4- If you use Internet Explorer, make sure to add the WorldServer URL to the Compatibility View Settings under
Tools/Compatibility Settings View
and to the Trusted Sites under
Internet Options/Security.
Once you have applied the steps above, try to reload the Explorer page or close and re-open Internet Explorer and try again.
5- If you are using Mozilla Firefox, go to the Add-Ons Site and then to Plugins. Make sure that the 32-bit Java and Silverlight related Plugins are activated. If you have the option to set them to Always activate, please do so. If not, set them to Ask to activate. Restart Firefox and try again to access the Explorer site. When the option Ask to Activate is set, when opening Explorer, you will be asked if you really want to activate those plugins. Confirm with the option Save and Remember. Explorer will open.
Note - 32-bit version of Java is needed even if you are using a 64-bit operating system. More information can be found at https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_win64bit.xml
