# Setting Up Your Computer

## Computers, Operating Systems and Browsers

You can use either a PC or Mac computer (tablets are not recommended or supported).

It is recommended that you use a recent version of the computer's operating system.

Firefox is the recommended browser to use with D2L although Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari should also work. When you encounter a technical glitch while working in D2L, try using a different browser. Make sure to use a recent version of your browser.

D2L uses "pop ups" that open up new windows. The browser or anti-virus software you are using may block pop ups. If you click on a link and nothing happens, you may have to change your browser or anti-virus software's settings to allow pop ups.

Note: The drag and drop functions in D2L do not work when using Internet Explorer!

## Performing a System Check

On the D2L My Home page, there is a link to the System Check. The System Check will show you if there are any settings you need to update.
