Jeremy Haage

Jeremy has 5 years experience doing technical support services for customers, plus workshop/webinar training and internal IT support for MCAM Northwest, Inc. (an Authorized Mastercam Reseller).  He also serves as Director of Information Technology for a local non-profit organization.  His background is in PC based hardware & software, with several years experience supporting hardware/software for an Internet Service Provider

He really enjoys learning new features in the software.  He says, “You can use it for years and still learn something new every time you fire it up”.  And he finds helping others to complete a project or learn a part of the software satisfying.  “Knowing that what you teach might make a difference in someone’s career (which ultimately affects their life) is fulfilling.”

Q: Does this work well with a dial-up connection?
A: Yes, with the testing we have done. If the player gets ahead of the download, the system will just pause until it has downloaded enough material to play.
Q: Why can't I login to the website? I don't receive any indication that my login or password was entered incorrectly.
A: If you do receive an 'Invalid username/password' message then please try to enter your username/password again. If you have forgotten your password, use the 'Forgot Password?' link to retrieve your password.  Username and passwords are case sensitive.

A: If you open IE8 and go into "Tools" on the tool bar and then "Compatibility View" and add Streamingteacher.com is should resolve most issues.
Q: I've logged into my subscription but get and "Access Denied" message when I try to view the videos?
