Help me! The games on this website require 2 "plug-ins"
If you don't have these plug-in's you will need to download them
for these websites.
Download and Install the AxelPlayer plug-in
The AxelPlayer for Internet plug-ins is available for free from
the MindAvenue website, from here.
You'll need to download the first one "AxelPlayer for Internet".
Then follow the instructions on the left.
Download and Install the Quicktime plug-in
The Quicktime plug-in is available for free at the Apple website. Click here to go to
the Quicktime download page and follow the instructions for downloading
the software. Once the Quicktime Installer file is saved onto your
computer, double click on it and follow the instructions for installing
the software.
If you have any difficulties or are not sure whether you have installed
the Quicktime plug-in correctly, we recommend that you visit Apple's
Quicktime
solving problems page.
What's a plug-in?
A plug-in is a small application that lets you view special presentations.
They can be animations, movies or audio. In this case the plug-ins
lets you view the animation of the characters and play their interactive
games. Quicktime is an animation plug-in, and Axel is a 3D animation
plug-in. Both are required to play the games.
Audio
The games on this site have audio instruction so that children
can listen to what they have to do. So if you have speakers, make
sure they're turned on, and at a suitable volume.
