* Provided the processor supports the SSE instruction set, a lower work frequency is acceptable. ** This software may not function properly in environments where the memory is only 1024 MB and shared with an integrated graphic processor. In such a case, a warning displays at launch. This software cannot be used with computers that have only 512 MB of available memory (ex: memory shared with the video processor). In that case, increase the amount of memory. Refer to your computer's documentation and/or contact your computer vendor for more information regarding memory increases. *** A FAT32 formated hard disk drive (HDD) does not support a file size higher than 4 GB. Preferably, output your file to an NTFS partition. If you are using a FAT32 formated HDD or external disk, it may be possible to convert it into NTFS format. Refer to your device's user manual or contact the device maker. |
