The instructions below must be followed in order to view the testimony videos in Macintosh OS X 10.2 or later using the Safari Web browser (it will not work for ealier versions of the OS or for browsers other than Safari).

Part I of the instructions need only be done once for your computer. Part II must be done prior to each session in which you wish to view testimonies.

  2. Quit Safari
  3. Place the xquicktime plug-in in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ folder
