Different Requirements for Different Operating Systems.

Depending on which operating system you are running, you may or may not need additional third-party software to install prior to running Scala iplay.

Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), Windows Millennium Edition (ME)
Everything you need is already there; you're ready to download iplay now! If you would like, you can follow our step-by-step instructions for downloading and installation.
Windows 98
If you do not already have it, you will need Windows Media Player 6.4 for its MP3 codec. Please note that even if you have Media Player 7.0, you still need 6.4, because Microsoft removed this codec from later releases, although it was later integrated into the operating system itself with Win 98 SE and onward. Click here to find out what version of Media Player you have, and if you need to upgrade, where to get the file.
Windows 95
Requirements include Media Player 6.4, Direct X 3+, DCOM, and the Common Control Library Patch (available with Internet Explorer 4.01 SP1 or later). Click here for a breakdown of what to get if you don't already have it and from where.
Windows 2000
The only requirement for iplay is Service Pack 1. Upgrade if necessary from Windows Update. Then download iplay! If you would like, you can follow our step-by-step instructions for downloading and installation.
Windows NT 4
Scala requires at least Service Pack 3; afterwards you only need Windows Media Player 6.4. To find out which Service Pack and Media Player you have or how to upgrade, click here.

Determine Which OS is Installed.

Windows 9x or Windows Millennium Edition (ME)

Click the Start button, then select Control Panel. Double-click the System icon and look at the top of the window that opens under the first tab. There it will say either Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME). Follow the above links dependent on which OS is installed.

The Scala Website requires that JavaScript (Active Scripting) be enabled.

Please go to Tools, Internet Options under the Menus. Select the Security Tab, then Custom Level button. Then click the Enable button under Scripting / Active Scripting. Hit OK, then OK again to exit requestors. You will know it's working when you see a "More" link in the links beneath the Tabs.

You can still use the website without changing this setting, but certain features will be disabled.
