Help Us Help You

All of the following steps assume that you’re on a computer where you can update the software. If you’re on a public computer, skip to Step 3. If that doesn’t work, contact us at [email protected] or call Pro-TREAD technical support at 877-778-7323, ext. 135.

Step 1: Make Sure Your Browser is Up-to-Date

Why do we recommend Firefox? Because Internet Explorer crashes or stops working seemingly at random. Not because of our software, just because. Luckily, Microsoft has provided tips when it stops working.

Step 2: Install the Newest Flash Player

Pro-TREAD runs in Adobe Flash, which runs in your browser. You can download and install the newest version of Flash very quickly.

Step 3: Clear Your Browser’s Cache Memory

Clearing your cache can significantly improve the speed and performance of your browser.

Firefox:

  1. Click Tools and select Options on the Firefox menu bar.
  2. Click the Privacy Icon on the Option menu bar to open the Privacy Properties.
  3. Click Clear across from the Cache option.
  4. Click Ok to return to the browser main page.
  5. Exit and relaunch the browser.

Internet Explorer 7+
If you have older version of Internet Explorer, use these instructions to clear your cache.

  1. Select Tools -> Internet Options.
  2. Open ‘General’ tab.
  3. In ‘Browsing history’ area click ‘Delete’ button.
