Open the Control Panel by selecting the Start Button, and then left click on Control Panel. In some Operating Systems, it is necessary to select Settings, and then select Control Panel.

If you see 10 Category’s then select Network and Internet Connections. You will then be asked to Pick a Task. At the bottom of this page you will see another section called Pick a Control Panel Icon. Select Internet Options from the menu.

At the top of this new window is a set of options. Select the Every visit to the page option by left clicking in the circle to the left of the option.

Towards the bottom of the window you will find an area to set the Amount of disk space to use. We recommend setting this between 300-500.

You many now click OK and this window will close returning to the previous window.

Go back to the top of the window and select the Advanced tab across the top.

Now use the scroll bar and pull it about half way down the page until you find a heading called HTTP 1.1 Settings. The HTTP 1.1 is just a marker so we are going to ignore what is checked.

Look to see what comes after the HTTP 1.1 settings and find out what the next section is.

You could have one of three different cases.

Case 1 - Java (Sun)
If you have this section you will need to uncheck the box next to Use JRE applet.

Now check to see if the next item is Microsoft VM or Multimedia. If you have Multimedia please go to Case 3 else proceed to Case 2.

Case 2 – Microsoft VM
If you have the Microsoft VM you will need to check Java Console Enabled (Requires Restart). The other two boxes can remain unchecked.

While this does say requires restart it does not mean restart your computer. What they want you to do is to restart Internet Explorer. Since Internet Explorer is not open, there is nothing we need to do.

Case 3 – Multimedia
If Multimedia is the next item on the list under HTTP 1.1 setting then it appears that you do not have Java installed on your computer. We will address that in the next section, for right now lets finish the Internet Properties.

Now that Internet Explorer is configured for use with Paragon MLS you should left click on Apply then on OK. This will close the Internet Properties window.

What we have done is to give Paragon MLS the ability to make use of lower security setting while still protecting your computer when you are on the internet.

Next, we will set our print margins.

To do this open Internet Explorer as you normally do when accessing Paragon. Once Internet Explorer is open, you will notice there is a menu at the very top. Left click on File then select Page Setup from the drop down menu.

The Page Setup window will open. In the bottom right hand corner of the page you will find the settings for the margins. Set the top, left, and right margins to 0.25. Set the bottom margin to 0.5.

Once that is done select OK and the window will close.

To download the Microsoft Virtual Machine (Java) we will first connect to the Internet go to our open Internet Explorer and type the Fidelity Home page address into the Address bar of Internet Explorer. Once that is done press the enter key on your keyboard. The Fidelity Home Page should load.

On the right is a blue menu. Left click on the Support and Resources option. You will see a new menu appear under that option. Now select Program Downloads.

On the web page you will see a section labeled Categories. Select the option called Microsoft Applications.

When you select the save option a new window will appear called Save As. You will notice a list of icons on the left side. Select the Desktop Icon, and then select the Save button located in the lower right hand side of the window.

You are now downloading the file. When the file is finished you may be prompted to run the file. You may do so.

If you are not prompted to run the file close Internet Explorer and locate MSJAVX3809.EXE on your desktop. When you find the file double click on the icon.

The file may also be called MSJAV86.EXE

After selecting OK a window will appear informing you that you must restart your computer. After insuring that all your data has been saved and all other applications have been closed select the YES button.

After your computer finishes rebooting the configuration will be completed. You are now ready to log onto Paragon and begin using the system.
