Try dragging the toolbar to the top or bottom of your screen. Certain WorldFlash display features are only available when the toolbar is "docked".

When you login to your My.Yahoo or My.Excite portal page using Internet Explorer, a cookie is placed on your computer so that you don't have to login every time you visit that home page. When WorldFlash requests that page, it uses Internet Explorer's underlying Internet access method, so it can retrieve and parse out your league/team choices from your personalized data.

Because of this, you do need to login to the portal page(s) of your choice using Internet Explorer, with Cookies enabled, and "Remember my ID on this computer" checkbox selected, in order to ensure that your sports scores will be displayed in the scrolling ticker.

No problem, just drop us a line at support@worldflash.com within 30 days of your purchase and we'll send out a printable invoice for your transaction via email. Or, you can use the DigiBuy Automated Order Search page.

WorldFlash is currently in use at most of the Fortune 500 as well as thousands of other international companies. It's up to your company's network policies as to what software can be installed and run on your computer at work. However, we've never had a single report of any problem caused by running WorldFlash on a corporate Internet network connection.

This is most likely due to unwanted "spyware" or other persistent virus software that may have been unwittingly installed on your PC. This is not particularly related to WorldFlash, but it does affect the starting position of the WorldFlash toolbar.

To remove the offending spyware, we recommend both Spybot S&D (free) and Webroot.com SpySweeper (inexpensive).

In the current version, you can turn off the stock quotes or weather forecasts, and just see news headlines in those scrolling tickers. Choose "Customize WorldFlash" from the program menu to disable or enable information feeds.

Sorry, you need a different kind of software, we recommend the excellent 7:AM News Ticker, www.7am.com. If you simply need a syndicated headline feed for your home page, try Moreover. Think about it... why not just recommend WorldFlash to your viewers and earn a 15% cash commission on your affiliate sales? Contact support for more info.

Use the Preferences... dialog box, News n' Mail page, under "Check for incoming email every:" box, use the arrow to choose "(never)".

Make sure you can access the Internet using Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. You don't need to use IE as your default browser, it just needs to be successfully configured. This is sometimes related to the existence of a "proxy server" style TCP/IP connection (see below).
AOL users: you may need to click the "Go to the Web" button on your AOL client program.

Yes, they're supported through the Windows 95/NT Internet Control Panel settings. I.e. if you use a Proxy/Firewall server it must be properly set up in the Control Panel/Internet Settings--Connection (Proxy Server). Consult your Microsoft documentation for information on setting up Win95/NT with a Proxy/Firewall server. You may need to obtain your "Proxy Name" and "Proxy Password" and enter them in the WorldFlash program. From the WorldFlash popup menu, choose "Customize WorldFlash", then click Options, and fill out the "Proxy Authentication" section.

Check out the "Intranet Developer's Kit", which is a sample "C" program that lets you build a special DLL that accesses the internal data structures of WorldFlash. You can add your own headlines, or any other information, and set the refresh rate, etc. For information on more sophisticated solutions, see the Corporate Solutions page.

The best way is to send mail describing your service (including the Web URL where it is located) to WorldFlash Software. Only publicly accessible, daily-update on-line news databases that use DHTML need apply.

Many people have requested a Linux and a Mac version of WorldFlash. Thanks for the response, however at this time we're only supporting Win95/98/NT/2k/ME/XP. When there is more to report on the progress of the ported programs, it'll be announced at this web site.

Simply register your copy of WorldFlash Gold and you won't have to see that message again. You may be covered under your company's "umbrella" license, ask your MIS manager or help desk person for the registration code.

This depends on how many stock symbols you've requested. WorldFlash updates a "basket" of 8 stock quotes every 90 seconds, and these quotes are already delayed 20 minutes at the Web server, so quotes you see on WorldFlash might be as much as 25 minutes delayed. You should always check a stock price with a broker before placing a trade.

WorldFlash updates 1 weather city every (approx.) 90 seconds, and it updates the weather forecast after it gets the quotes and headlines, so it can take a while for the weather forecasts to start coming in. If you run WorldFlash for a long time (say more than 10 minutes) and still no weather, there may be a problem at the default weather server, Yahoo Weather Server.
