Problems Logging in?

First step - try these downloads!


Experience has shown that the following will help most end users who are experiencing log on issues:

Go to this website http://rescomp.bloomu.edu/Downloads.html

Download and install internet explorer 6.0 SP1
Also download and install the JAVA runtime environment

You might try the JAVA runtime environment by itself first and if that doesn't work then try IE 6.0

If this step does not help, read other troubleshooting tips below.

Norton 360 may adversely affect the operation of STINF.  We are aware of the problem but there is no fix at the current time. Please check STINF on a university computer.

MAC User Problems


MAC OS 9.x Users - Netscape Navigator 4.7, which is available on most campus computers or can easily be downloaded, provides effective access to the mainframe computer, STINF, and FCINF.

MAC OS X Users - Netscape Navigator 4.7 also works fine in the Classic mode under OS X and should be used to access the mainframe programs STINF and FCINF. (The OS X version of both Netscape and Microsoft Explorer, however, do not work with OS X and should be avoided for accessing the mainframe programs.)

STINF was developed by the Applications Development and Operations Department for the convenience of our students.

If you have technical problems with STINF, please review the section above called "Problems Logging In?"

If you are working in a campus lab and are continuing to have problems, please check with the lab assistant if one is available.
