Before the lecture starts, some
animations must be loaded. Internet Explorer may
give you this message twice: "An application
is attempting to load a Microsoft Agent character
from an untrusted Web site. Do you want to allow
this character to be loaded?" Click
"Yes" each time, and the animations
will load automatically. The
"untrusted" sites are the official
Microsoft sites for the animations:
www.microsoft.com/msagent/chars/peedy/peedy.acf
and
www.microsoft.com/msagent/chars/merlin/merlin.acf. |

The process of loading the animations may
take a few minutes if you have a slow internet
connection. |
