 Does my computer have what it takes to view the eBook?

While most people upgrade computers every 3 or 4 years, some do not.  So, it is important to understand that some older systems are not able to execute the eBook Pro Viewer and the Shaklee Online eBook.  Minimum system requirements are:

Intel Pentium III or AMD Duron 1 GHz Processor
256MB System Memory
40GB Hard Drive
Windows 98SE Operating System or Higher.

Supported Operating Systems:

XP Professional
XP Shop
Windows 2000
Windows 98SE Service Pack 2

Unfortunately, Spider Support cannot support any system that does meet these minimum requirements.  Windows 95 & Windows ME are not supported.


 How do I download the eBook and eBook Pro Viewer?

  1. Important! Before attempting to download and view the Shaklee Online eBook you will need to download and install what’s called an eBook Viewer. Download the eBook Viewer FIRST before downloading the actual eBook. You can download both the eBook Viewer and the eBook at:  Spider Updates

  2. After you have downloaded the eBook Viewer, download the latest version of the Shaklee Online eBook. Make sure you download your Shaklee eBook to a location you will not forget (I recommend downloading and saving it to your "Desktop" or set your download path to C:\My eBooks\ebks which is the default folder location in the eBook Viewer application).


 How do I view the Shaklee Online eBook?

Once you've downloaded the eBook you can view it online two different ways:

  1. Open the eBook Viewer and choose "File", then "Open". From here, browse to the location of the Shaklee Online EBK file, you can then either double-click the file to automatically open it, or single-click to highlight the file and then choose "Open".

  2. Go to the location that you downloaded the EBK file to and double-click on the "Shaklee Online" icon located there to open it.

Either one of these methods will open your Shaklee Online eBook.


  How do I register the Shaklee Online eBook?

  1. Note that the first time you run the eBook; there are a few requirements that must be met.

    a.) You must be connected to the Internet. To do this, you can either double-click on your "Internet Explorer" icon, or follow the instructions provided by your ISP.

    b.) You must be on a PC. If you have an Apple computer you will need to purchase and use Virtual PC software program which is available through Microsoft in order to use the ebook.

    c.) You must have Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher installed on your computer. We recommend that you use the most current version of Internet Explorer, which is version 6.

  2. The first thing you will need to do when you open your Shaklee Online eBook is to register it. You can do this in a a number of ways.

    First, you can click anywhere within the eBook. By doing this, the registration box will appear and you can enter your Username and Password (which is provided below). The other two ways are by clicking on the "R" symbol in the toolbar, or by clicking on "Help" and then "Register".

  3. In the Username and Password field, enter the following information.

    Please make certain that you enter your Username and Password exactly as shown or the registration process will not complete. Once you have entered this information, click "OK" and the registration process will begin.

                    Username: shak000
                    Password:  0000000000

  4. Once you have finished registering, the dialog box will disappear and you will be able to freely navigate the eBook.


  Why does the eBook fail to register?

If you have any problems with the username and password validating, please check the following...

1) Make sure CAPS LOCK is off.
2) Spam filters and anti-virus software must be turned off.
3) No Firewall software running (it stops you from registering)
4) Using the number zero and not the letter O in the password.
5) You must be online when registering.


  Why am I getting a "Server Busy" or "Server Congested" errors when registering the eBook?

Any error message that suggests the registration server is "Busy", "Down", or "Congested" may be due to several factors.  At times of the day, the registration server may be experiencing heavy traffic loads due to the limited number of secure ports available on the secure server.  If this error message is legitimate, you can try again in a half hour and you should be able to connect.

There are other network issues that could give you the same error messages.  Keep in mind the Internet is a large network of smaller networks, connecting a multitude of servers together.  A connection hop from your computer to the registration server could route you through as many as 8 to 20 routing DNS servers. 

A failure of anyone one of these servers could block or delay your secure port request.  Again, the action for resolving this problem is to wait a half hour and try again.  If you are still getting an error message after 24 hours of trying, we suggest you contact your Internet Service Provider. 


  Why am I getting a "Can't Reach Server" or "Server Unavailable"?

This error is usually related to the client having a firewall or proxy server that is interfering. Please try turning off your proxy server or firewall, as our eBook Servers are completely secure. You will also want to disable your antivirus software while downloading the product.

Make sure you are online when trying to register.  The registration processes requires a connection to the Internet and the ability to open a secure port out on your computer at port 443.  If you are not online or you have Firewall software that blocks access to the Internet, you could see "Can't Reach Server" or "Server Unavailable" types of error messages.

There are other network issues that could give you the same error messages.  Keep in mind the Internet is a large network of smaller networks connecting a multitude of servers together.  A connect hop from your computer to the registration server could routed through as many as 8 to 20 routing DNS servers. 

A failure of anyone one of these servers could block or delay your secure port request.  Again, the action for resolving this problem is to wait a half hour and try again.  If you are still getting an error message after 24 hours of trying, we suggest you contact your Internet Service Provider. 


  Why does the eBook fail to open or register?

The following information is a short troubleshooting tip for checking the file integrity of both the eBook Viewer and Shaklee Online eBook download files.  There are several reasons why you did not achieve a clean download of the files.  To test for a complete download of the the downloaded files, simply highlight the file icon you are testing with a LEFT CLICK of your mouse button and then a RIGHT CLICK on the highlighted file icon and select "PROPERTIES" from the drop down menu.

A file menu will open, displaying the file information of the downloaded file. Check the file sizes to see if your file completely downloaded.  The correct files follows:

Shaklee Online.ebk       Size = 1.45MB   SEE EXAMPLE
eBoo Pro Viewer.exe 
  Size = 1.77MB

Some of the causes for incorrect file sizes are as follows:

  1. Test: File size is smaller than expected - Premature termination of the download file.  See more details below.

    Resolution: Delete bad file and download the file again.
  2. Test: File size is larger than the expected  - Corrupted download file due to anti-virus
    or other security software.  OR, your computer may have a virus.  See more details below.

    Resolution: Disabled Firewall, Anti-Virus, or Security Software. Delete the corrupt file and
    download the file again.

Microsoft Internet Explorer is notorious for corrupting downloads of file formats that it does not understand.  And, the eBook's .ebk file format is not an everyday file for IE.  So, you may want to try downloading the file again if you find it to be corrupt.

Internet accelerators and other connection optimization programs or tweaks can cause file corruption during downloading.  If you have these type of programs running, reset them to their default settings and try downloading the file again.

Keep in mind, these are large files.  The longer it takes to download these files, the more time there is for something to go wrong.  Dial-up users with poor connections or very slow service will see more of these errors than DSL or Cable users. 

However, DSL and Cable users are not immune.  Sometimes these faster connections send "file complete" messages before the file has completely been received, causing early termination of the file download.  In these cases, delete the "short" file and try downloading the file again

If your file size exceeds those shown above and the software will not open for you, go HERE and request that these files be sent to you via email.  We have had pretty good luck sending these files intact as email attachments .


   I entered my username and password but I get the error: Username and Password Combination is Invalid.

Solution 1:

Please make sure that you have keyed in the information properly, without any spaces before or after the username and password.  User and Passwords are cases sensitive.  Passwords are all numbers.

Solution 2:

Please follow these instructions so that we can get you a new code:

  1. Open the eBook with the viewer, but do not click anywhere in the viewing window as this will prompt the request for the username and password.
  2. Go to the menu at the top of the e-book viewer window and click on Help.
  3. Select - About Ebook Pro. A window will pop up.
  4. Look in the Title Bar of this new window and you will see the ID number. It should read something like:

    ID: #### About eBook Viewer 5.54 (Note: ### is the number of the eBook)

If this does not reveal the e-book ID to you. You may require the latest version of the e-Book Pro viewer. You can download and install it from the link below: http://www.ebookpro.com/download/ebookviewer.exe


   I keep getting the error message "Bad eBook Format"

The likely cause of this error would be a corrupted eBook file. You would need to download the eBook again and open it with the latest eBook Pro Viewer. When you are prompted to donwload the eBook, choose "save" and save it on your desktop.

Update eBook Pro Viewer with the instructions below.

  1. Open eBook Pro Viewer
  2. Click on Options > Check for eBook Pro Viewer…

  Error Installing iKernel.exe: (0xa00)
