Technical Difficulties

1. I am a returning user and have forgotten my username and/or password. Help!

If you think you know your username, then click the "Forgot" link under the password box. You'll be prompted to enter your email address in another box to have a link sent for resetting your password. Make sure to enter the email address you used when you registered for MyStudentBody.

2. I am taking the Essentials course, and I've received a pop-up page that says "Page Cannot Be Displayed." Why is this happening?

If you see the "page cannot be displayed" message, then hit the "refresh" button on your browser. If you continue to get this message, then click the "Logout" button, close your browser completely, reopen it, and log back in. MSB will direct you to where you stopped the course.

3. My sound doesn't work. How do I fix it?

You should first check your computer to make sure your speakers are correctly hooked up and turned on. Turn your speakers up to a volume that is comfortable for you, and restart the segment that uses sounds. If you are visiting MSB from a public place like a computer lab, you may want to use headphones to listen to the audio segments

4. I can't seem to see any tools or peer stories. Can you help?

A browser plug-in is required to view the (Flash) tools and animated peer stories. If you cannot see any tools or peer stories, you probably do not have this plug-in installed on your computer. You can download the "Macromedia Shockwave Player" for free by using the link at the bottom of any MSB page or by visiting the following URL: www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download.

5. I'm a returning user and I have tried to login with my correct UserID and password, but the system reports I don't have an account.  When I try to set up an account with my Butler email again, it says that UserID is already taken.  How can I get back in to access my account without having to take the course over again?

Please contact techsupport@mystudentbody.com and explain your situation.  You should receive a response within 24 hours with a temporary password to get back into your account.  Once you've accessed your account, please create a new password.

6. On the Registration page, I've filled out my information, but the box to click for "Terms of Use" won't let me click it. What's going on?

The box will not be accessible to you until you've opened the link for Terms of Use.  This is to help ensure that users read the agreement before clicking the box.  After you've opened the Terms of Use and closed it, you should be able to click the box and move on.
