Q: “I’m unable to view the CHARTS system”
A: The CHARTS system is based on Java and Flash technologies and requires that a “Java Virtual machine” and “Flash Player” are installed on your computer. If you can’t see the charts, you either don’t have Java VM or Flash Player, or Java is not running properly. Please refer to the links below for automatic installations of

A: Solution 1: Your username and password are case sensitive, make sure “Caps Lock” is not turned on, and try again.
Solution 2: You have mistakenly pressed the “space bar” at the end or the beginning of the username or the password. Delete both and try again.
