Guide to use AIA

1. You maybe suffer from some problems when start to run AIA from its website as following:
1. Your Java version is out-of-date.
2. Application Blocked
3. Application Blocked by Security Settings
4. Your security settings have blocked an application from running with an out-of-date or
expired version of Java.
5. Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.
For security reasons, recent versions of Java may block unsigned Java applets from automatically running
by default.

Solution #1
If you are allowed to install/upgrade software on your computer, please install the latest Java
upgrade first, relaunch the web browser, and try again.
Solution #2
If you are unable to install/upgrade to the latest Java version, you can work around this problem
by adding an "exception site" or temporarily lowering the security level of the currently installed
Java:
