System Requirements for WinBidPro v15
Thinking about a new computer?
See the
System Requirements
for the v15 software and make sure you get the most out of your
program.
Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility
We have tested WinBidPro with Windows 7, and as
expected, everything runs fine. It may still be necessary to
install the software by using the "Run as Administrator" option
that we recommend for Windows Vista, but everything works great.
This should be a much faster and less troublesome operating
system than Vista.
User Account Control (UAC)-
Troubleshooting Tip!
UAC is something Microsoft added to Windows Vista and Windows 7.
This is the security layer in Windows that prompts you to
"Allow" when you install software, among other things. We have
found in some cases that our software will not run on a Vista or
7 machine unless the UAC is turned "OFF". We still can't explain
why some computers require this, and others don't, but we do
know that this is often the culprit if our software will not
install or run properly.
