Webinar fix

If you could see me now, I am so excited and just jumping out of my chair.  Kevin Klar of Creative Memories came to the rescue with the link that would fix our webinars.

If you have been one of the people that use Windows 7 and the webinars are not working and the error you get is “video codec error,” here is the fix.

Click this link G2M3 download, then click the “Install GotToMeeting Codec”  You will then be able to view every webinar on this website. 

A HUGE thank you to Kevin Klar!!!
