Connect 2.2 Software System Requirements

Connect™ 2.2 operates on computers running Intel or compatible Pentium IV or greater processors. The processor must be running at a minimum of 1.2 GHZ.

Supported operating systems (OS):
Windows® 2000
Windows® XP
Windows® 2000/2003/2008 Server
Windows® Vista

NOTE: The Connect 2.2 database will stop functioning if a Windows Vista upgrade is performed on a previous version of Microsoft Windows running Connect! A clean reinstall of Connect will be required after a Windows Vista upgrade.

Connect 2.2 software, release 20081003 and higher, runs under Windows Vista. Previous releases of Connect are NOT supported under Windows Vista due to the fact that the version of Microsoft SQL Server we used in previous releases, is NOT supported by Vista (the database that stores Connect information).

Connect™ 2.2 has been tested under both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. 32-bit operating systems are preferred, but 64-bit operating systems are supported.

Connect™ 2.2 has not been tested on Windows 7. Since Windows 7 is similar to Vista, it is expected to work without problems. Currently this configuration is NOT supported by CTECS tech support. Upgrading a computer with Connect from a previous version of Windows to Windows 7 is NOT recommended.

Windows® 2000 1 GB minimum,         2 GB recommended
