Desktop Requirements

Hardware Requirements:

To effectively run most USER applications, end users need to have a "modern desktop system," which can be defined as:

A PC or Mac capable of running a later version web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer 5), with a monitor capable of displaying resolutions of 1024x768 or better (minimum 17" screen). Generally a machine purchased within the last 3 years qualifies as a "Modern Desktop." For the latest hardware recommendations click here.

Software Requirements:

Software requirements for USER products are outlined in the following table. There are also specific browser configurations required for most USER products which include the enabling of "cookies" and javascript.

In general, if you are running IE 6.0 on a PC the following applications will work. Other users should review the following grid for each application's specific requirements.
