What are the minimum system requirements for installing Crystal Ease?

Crystal Ease is a lightweight client application that has few system specific needs.

For detailed information on what platforms Crystal Ease was tested on, you can refer to the Tested.txt file on your computer in the application folder.

The minimum systems tested for Crystal Ease were --

• Windows 98se

• 64MB RAM

• 80 MB Hard drive space (to allow for install temp space)

• Internet Explorer 5.5 (service pack 2) 128-bit encryption for secure purchasing.

• MDAC 2.6 or higher  (installed by application if not present)

• 800 x 600 resolution (1024 x 768 recommended) with 24-bit or higher color recommended.

• System DSN configured for ODBC connections

• Database Client/Middleware to provide conenctivity to source.

Note: Crystal Ease is an English only application and we have had two reports in the past five years where the application will not run.  In both instances, the operating system and settings were not English and would not allow the English application files to run.
