5-2 Installing Software
When purchasing new software for your
computer, check the carton and make sure the
software is compatible with your computer in
the following ways:
• Operating system — If the program is
Windows-based, make sure it matches the
operating system you have loaded on your
computer.
MS-DOS-based software should work
regardless of the operating system you
loaded on your computer.
• Minimum requirements — Make sure your
computer has enough memory, screen
resolution, and processor speed for the
software.
If you already have some software you want to
load on the computer, you might as well try
loading it.
Many software applications written for Windows
for Workgroups or Windows 95 can also work
under Windows NT. You may want to try
loading an application that you already own.
