Hardware/software Requirements
This course was developed using
the Windows 95 platform; however, the manufacturer’s
documentation states that Outlook 2000 can also run on Windows 98
or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher installed, though
some of the screen displays might be slightly different. A
minimum of 500 megabytes (MB) of hard drive space and 16 MB of
Random Access Memory (RAM) is required. (For Windows NT only, at
least 4 MB of available space in the registry is necessary.) You
will also need an IBM-compatible PC with a 486 or higher
processor, the Windows 95 operating system with Windows
Messaging, Microsoft Fax, and Quick View turned on, and an
Exchange 5.0 server. See your reference manual for hardware
considerations that apply to your specific hardware setup.
In addition, you will need
printers if you want to print the items created in the course.
