My desktop icon is missing, how to I get it back?

Browse to: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_xx\bin (where 'xx' is the java minor version) on your computer and double click 'javacpl.exe'. Under the Temporary Internet Files section, click View. Highlight any whistportal items and click the red X to remove them. Close the Java Control Panel. From your browser, go to: http://www.whistportal.com/download.html and click the 'launch whistportal' link.



My country flag is incorrect, how do I correct this?

Your country flag is derived from the locale specified on your operating system, which is typically set during installation. If your flag is incorrect, go to your control panel and select 'Regional and Language Options.' Click on the Location tab to set your current location. You may need to restart your computer before the changes take effect.



I am running a mac and cannot launch whistportal?

For some mac users the latest java virtual machine is not installed and does not automatically install during the first launch of whistportal. I recommend visiting http://www.java.com/ and click on the "Do I Have Java?' link to determine what java version you currently have installed and http://www.apple.com/java/ to upgrade your java version. You need at least 1.6 (Version 6) to launch whistportal.
