Minimum System Requirements

These self-instructional modules do not automatically install on your computer. They can be run directly from the distribution CD-ROMs. You may also choose to install them on your hard drive for easy use. A procedure for doing so with a video illustrating the process can be seen by clicking on the "Hard Disk Installation" button in the "Begin A.HLP" or "Begin B.HLP" files.

We have excellent success with our modules when used on 486-based computers or better with at least 1MB of video memory, and Windows™ 95 or later. We recommend a video configuration of at least 16-bit color (i.e., 32,000 colors or "High Color") at a resolution of 800x600. If your display is set to 256 colors or less, there may be degradation in the quality of graphics and video clips. Also, if your video resolution is less than 800x600 (e.g., 640x480), then some screens in the modules will extend beyond the viewable area of your display, requiring use of the scroll bars.

In order to view the video clips, your system must be configured for multimedia video playback. A CD-ROM speed of 8x or better is recommended for smooth video playback. In order to hear sounds, your computer must be equipped with sound capability and speakers.

Thank you for your interest in these learning modules. For additional help running the product, please call Dr. Teasdale at (713) 794-7157 or send e-mail to teasdale@bcm.tmc.edu
