Questions About My Computer
Computer Requirements
Short Answer:
Nearly any Windows PC computers
made since 2002 will run our programs. If you're not sure, try
them out with our trial CD. Trials are
identical to the full version, only time limited. So if the trial works,
so will the full program. You can also buy
programs with our Money Back Guarantee.
Detailed Answer (for computer geeks)
- Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or Windows 7.
If your computer
has a Start button in the lower left comer, and it was new in 2000 or
later then you've got one of those versions. There are
several options for your Macintosh.
If you have an older computer with Windows 95 or Windows 98 (which are 9 to
14 years old) you can still run all the programs except for Sights'n Sounds
2, Speech Sounds On Cue, and Sentence Shaper
- Sound Card
If your PC ever plays music
(even just at start up) it has a sound card. If it has external
speakers, it probably has a sound card. Speakers plug into the sound
card.
-
CD-ROM drive
- Microphone
Required only for programs that record speech (Sights'n Sounds, Numbers'n
Sounds, and SpeechPrism) These are inexpensive.
You can buy them for $9.50
- Screen that can display 256 or more colors.
- 160 MB Hard Drive space (if you're installing all
23 programs).
Most programs need about 10-20MB of storage. Typical low end PCs have 60,000
MB of storage so this usually isn't a problem.
