Q: I just changed my password. Everything went well, but now, I cannot log on anymore
Answer 1: Your password is not what you think it is.
Imagine your old password was: XRaymond.
Now, you believe that you have changed the password to: 123ABC

Your password is PROBABLY: 123ABCXRaymond (New + Old Password). See also next Q/A.

Answer 2: Your login name has been TRUNCATED down to 8 (eight) characters (the password is certainly fine). Try to log on again, but limit your input to 8 characters.

Q: How do I really change my password to WHAT I WANT
A: Follow the following instructions:

The screen originally looks like that:

Change login screen

First, you have to eliminate the ****** from the password field (use the delete key).

At this point your screen should look like (after deleting the ******, your old password).

Screen without *

Q: When I try to access the protected site, I log on once, and then I am prompted for another password

A: That is normal, and this is due to our validation procedure. If you bookmarked a protected area, you would be prompted for the password only once. Don't be confused by the fact that the login procedure is different: the login name and password are the same.

Q: When I try to access the site I get a cryptic "JAVA Script Error" message

A: The likely answer is: your browser is not Netscape 3.x or Internet Explorer 3.x. (note that some users have reported using Netscape 2.2 successfully). In that case, you need to upgrade your system.

Q: When I try to access a page or download a document I get the message: HTTP/1.0 404 Object Not Found

A: Please e-mail us: this indicates a broken link (the document may exist, but is referred into a directory to which you do not have access to).

Q: When I reach the Committee Pages after a successful login, I can't seem to be able to go any farther: the buttons to the committee pages have no effect

A: your browser is set so that it will not run JavaScripts.

Fix for Netscape 3.xx: In the menu: Options / Network Preferences / Select the "Languages" tab, and check "Enable JavaScript"

Fix for Internet Explorer 3.xx: In the menu: View / Options / select the "Security" tab, and check "Enable Java Programs"

Q: When I try to reach the protected area, my system times out (after many seconds, the browser announces that it cannot find the Web server)

A: two solutions: the server is really down, or your company-wide security is such that you are not allowed you to reach Web servers identified only by IP addresses (as it is the case for the JEDEC protected area server). Please, verify with your tech support if it is the case. Same symptoms may occur if you are using a proxy server: you may not reach WWW servers identified by their IP's. Again, ask your tech support for resolution of the problem.

Q: When I try to gain access to another Committee (JEDEC ONLY), I select the committee from the pull down menu, but it has no effect?

A: the problem is not serious: simply select the alternate (if you were trying to reach the primary committee) or the primary committee list (if you were trying with the alternate). In any case, keep in mind that a committee and their alternate have the EXACT same content.

Q: My company is a maximum due payer but I cannot gain access to ANY committee. How come?

A: Even though your company is a maximum due payer, the security system doesn't know it, as a result, you can grant yourself access only within the limit of a given committee. For example: you are a JC-42 member. You can access to JC-42-3, 42-3A 42-5 etc..., but you cannot access JC-11. What you really need to do, is be added to the list of a committee, then, the web system will know about it 24h later, and let you in the new committee you requested. Please contact our staff person in charge of our membership (see Roster), to be added to the committee list.

Q: I don't know how to read the "pdf" files (e.g. documentX.pdf)

A: Simply click here and look for "Get Acrobat Reader" (an Icon at the bottom of the page): it will take you Adobe's web site. Adobe is the company that created the "portable dcoument format, pdf, format. The pdf reader called Acrobat, is a free software, that can be run on almost all flavor of computers: PC's (all OS') Mac's Unix machines...
