Computer System Requirements

Before installing the program, ensure that you have all the hardware and software you need to run Solar Fire:

•A PC or compatible computer with (at a minimum) an Intel Pentium processor or equivalent, or preferably a more modern type of processor (e.g. an Intel or AMD Dual Core or Core-2-Duo type of processor)

•CD or DVD drive

•Operating System - Windows Vista, 7, 8 or later.

•1 GB of RAM minimum (2 GB of RAM or more recommended)

•SVGA (800x600 pixels) monitor and adapter with 256 or more colors (XGA 1024x768 pixels or higher resolution modes with True Color is recommended)

•A hard disk drive with at least 250Mb of free disk space (or about 100Mb for a compact installation with minimal features installed)

•Internet access is recommended

Windows 8 computers

PCs

Solar Fire v9 works on PCs running Windows 8 Pro, but not Windows 8 RT.

Tablets

•Solar Fire v9 will work on a tablet running Windows 8 IF the tablet uses an INTEL processor.

•All tablets using an ARM or other processor (cannot run the older generic non-Windows 8 applications, and thus) cannot run Solar Fire v9

NOTE: Users on Windows 8 RT devices can only install the newer dedicated Windows 8 "Windows Store" apps.

(Windows Store apps use the "Windows Runtime" (RT for short), a new cross-platform application architecture that supports both Windows 8 Pro and Windows RT and their respective processors).
