   We recommend that you have the latest version of Flash Player, service packs and updates available.
3. What if I see the 'no connection' message?
   
   If you see this message, make sure:
   • Your internet connection is working,
   • If you have any firewall or internet security software running, try disabling it.
     If this resolves the problem, you will need to make an exception for "snow_tracker.exe".

4. What type of Internet connection do I need to run Snow Tracker?
   
   Whilst the Snow Tracker will run on a dial-up connection, a 24/7 connection (usually broadband) is considered the best way to receive real-time weather conditions throughout the day.

It can be set to 10, 30 or 60 minutes, in addition the updating can be paused (if the update is set to "pause" no data will be received by the snow tracker).
7. What if I see the 'no connection' signal?
   
   If you see this signal, make sure your Internet connection is working. If it is, you can try restarting your computer. If you have any firewall or internet security software running, try disabling it. If this resolves the problem, you will need to make an exception for "snow_tracker.exe".
