Using e-try.com

The e-try.com Web site is a showroom for products. You can try out the products via interactive simulations.  To run the simulations, you need the e-try viewer installed on your computer. Once it is installed, you can test drive any product at e-try.com!

 System Requirements

The e-try viewer runs on Windows95, Windows98, and WindowsNT v.4 platforms.  Other operating systems are not yet supported.

The e-try.com Web site works with Netscape Navigator versions 3.x and 4.x, Internet Explorer versions 3.x, 4.x and 5.x and AOL versions 3 and 4.

The e-try viewer is installed automatically the first time you go to view a specific product if you are using Netscape Navigator 4.06 or later, or Internet Explorer 4.0 or later. If you have an earlier browser, you need to manually download and install e-try before running any product simulation.
