Use CTI Navigator in Windows 10
(click on image to enlarge)
All versions of CTI Navigator (Desktop, Web and Web II) run without modification in Windows 10.
To use
the new CTI Navigator
Web II,
simply open the
website for your MLS (click here for address) in any browser on any Internet enabled device
(including mobile devices). However, to run CTI Navigator Web Silverlight or
Navigator Desktop in Windows 10 initially may require a few extra steps
compared to previous versions of Windows.
To use CTI Navigator Web Silverlight, open the MLS website either
in Internet Explorer
11
directly, or open the website in Microsoft Edge(the
new default browser in Windows 10) and then switch to IE (since Edge does not
support plug-ins such as Silverlight). If you prefer to use
Firefox or
Chrome, first add the appropriate
IE Tab
extension (so the browser will support plug-ins such as Silverlight)
before entering the MLS website address. For instructions see the "Run
CTI Navigator Web" section below.
To install
CTI Navigator Desktop, follow the same installation steps as for all
other current versions of Windows. Some users may need to turn on the ".NET Framework 3.5"
feature that may not be activated yet in their installation of Windows 10.
For step-by-step instructions, see the "Install CTI Navigator Desktop"
section below. To send email from CTI Navigator Desktop, see
install a desktop email app or Mapi-to-Webmail utility below.
For other information, click on a topic in the
index below, or use Ctrl+F keys in Windows or Command+F keys in
Apple, to Find specific instructions.

To email from a desktop app (such as
CTI Navigator Desktop) in Windows10, either install and configure a
desktop email app (such as
Windows Live Mail,
Mozilla Thunderbird, Opera Mail,
or Office Outlook) and set it as the
default email program for Windows 10;
or install a
Windows Desktop Mapi to Webmail utility such as
Affixa and set it as the
default email program
for Windows. (Click
here for instructions to install a free-for-personal-use Desktop version of Affixa.)
Microsoft's
"Mail" app built into Windows 10 is
not a MAPI-enabled program so it will not
interface with other desktop apps (such as CTI Navigator Desktop) to send email
they encoded. (For information
about Windows email programs, see "Setup and Use Email Service to Send MLS
Information" in the related articles at the
end of this web page.)
