If you cannot hear the children's voices but can see the video, make sure your PC speakers are on and turned up. Also make sure the audio volume for your PC is turned up. You can adjust your PC volume by using the icon on the task bar in the lower right-hand corner of desktop. Look for the icon that looks like this speaker icon or this speaker icon.

 A few more things to check before you begin using KIPS eLearning

checkCHECK YOUR SCREEN RESOLUTION
In order for everything to fit on the screen, you may need to have your screen resolution set to at least 1024 by 768.
   - If your screen resolution is lower than 1024 by 768, all of the items in the horizontal menu will not fit on screen.
   - If your screen resolution is higher than 1024 by 768, it may be fine for your computer system, but some users may find the higher setting
