SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Most reasonably up-to-date computers with a DVD drive should be able to play the screencasts that are included on the DVD. You may also find an Internet connection helpful for searching Microsoft's online help and for downloading updates to this book. Finally, the system requirements for running Access are much greater than those for simply running a DVD.

If your computer doesn't meet the following requirements then you may have some problems using Access.

• PC running Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or later
• A processor running at 1.6GHz or faster
• An Internet connection
• At least 1GB of RAM
• At least 3GB of available hard disk space
• A DVD-ROM drive

You may be able to run Access using a slower processor or with less memory, but things may be slow. I highly recommend more memory: 2GB or even more if possible. (I do fairly well with an Intel Core 2 system running Windows 7 at 1.83 GHz with 2GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive.)
