Games and video

The sounds for the games will work only if your computer has a Sound Card.

To play Carpet Kids and Landmines , you must be using a Web Browser that can run Java programs. Most versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape can do this. However, for Netscape the Java option may have been turned off, in which case you should turn it back on again. You should go to the Edit menu, select Preferences, click on Advanced, and make sure that "Enable Java" is ticked. If your Internet Explorer will not run Java programs, click here to download Microsoft's virtual Java machine.

Landmines does not at present work on a Mac computer with Internet Explorer, though it should work on a Mac with Netscape.

When playing Carpet Kids , if you click outside the game window at any time, the controls to move the figures won't work until you click again inside the window. With some very old Web browsers, there may be pauses when you first start playing the game before sounds are heard.

For Sneaky Snakes your browser must have a Flash plug-in. Most do; if yours doesn't, click here to download and install the plug-in.

To play the videos you will need RealOne Player; if you haven't already got it installed, click here to download a copy.
