Windows users: Go to http://www.java.com and click on the "Free Java Download" button.

Apple users: Java was only available on Apple systems since 10.4 Tiger onwards and it comes pre-installed. You can manually download "Java for Mac" and updates from the apple site, but usually the apple software updater should take care of this for you. If you do ever need to reinstall Java for Mac here is a link to the apple software downloads page. When the link page opens scroll down to the "Java for Mac" download.

Linux users: The latest version of Java will be available on your Linux installation CD/DVD. It is sometimes installed as part of the system and sometimes you have to install it manually.

Some customers have reported that sometimes Java on thier Apple/Macs can stop working after the Apple Software Updater has done a Java Update.

You can resolve this by going to the Apple software downloads page and then scrolling down the page to the "Java for Mac" downloads. Choose the correct download for your Apple Mac and then reinstall Java.

You must ring us BEFORE uninstalling the program off your old computer. We need to unregister your questions and free up your license. Failure to do this will result in you losing your license and not being able to reinstall the questions onto your new computer.

Again, you must ring us BEFORE doing any major work to your computer so we can unregister your questions to be safe and to protect your license. Failure to do this will result in you losing your license and you not being able to reinstall the questions after.

Start the program and highlight the questions you want to unregister. Then look over to the left and click 'unregister questions'. Your questions will be unregistered and the program will generate a series of numbers you need to document and then give to ICAL. Call 01704 513 525 and request an unregistration then provide these details.

Start the program and login to your questions to get to the main menu. On the main menu click on the 'Check for Updates' button.

By default the program does not keep stats in study mode. We believe you should use study mode to practice only, then use exam mode to properly examine knowledge under timed exam conditions. You can however - if you really want to - turn stats on in study mode. On the main menu in the bottom right hand corner click the 'Program Settings' link and look for the study mode stats option.

We have a dedicated question query phone line where you can speak to and discuss questions with our question writers. Call 01704 513 527.
