Customizing the Vision Toolbar
The Vision Toolbar is good for more than Vision!
It allows teachers to put their favorite teaching tools
from several MasterSolution products at their fingertips.
Any feature from compatible MasterSolution products can
be added to the Vision Toolbar so that it contains only
the items you need the most. See how to do this by clicking

Vision
and the Windows XP SP2 Release
What is it?
In August, Microsoft released SP2 for Windows XP.
This update is comprised largely of security enhancements,
among them a new personal IP firewall that is turned ON
by default. Such firewalls can interfere with network-based
applications, as they block communications. FXSP2 is a utility
that configures the new Windows XP SP2 built-in firewall
to work properly with Vision.
Who needs it?
If your network computers are running Windows XP
SP2 with the built-in firework enabled, you need FXSP2.
Most networked computers are not configured this way, but
instead rely upon an external firewall that separates the
network from the broader Internet. In that case, FXSP2 is
not required.
However, since the Windows XP SP2 firewall is turned ON
by default, users may have issues with the firewall regardless
of whether or not it is needed. Consult with your network
administrator to decide how your organization wishes to
use the new security features of SP2.
What does it do?
FXSP2 is a Wizard-style application that is run
on each computer after Vision is installed in a classroom
or lab. It analyzes the network settings of Vision and adjusts
the Windows firewall appropriately so that the Vision Teacher
workstation can communicate with the student workstations.
