System Requirements Check

Our online training uses a number of different technologies to deliver a great training experience - however, it won't be so "great" if your computer system isn't compatible with them all. So please: Before registering, complete this five-step check to make sure you can join in the fun.

Step 1: Make sure your computer can run Windows PowerShell v1.0.

Step 2: Visit DimDim and test your bandwith latency. Also do the audio test and record a short sample. Ignore the instructions about video. This will verify that you can communicate in our meetings with other students.

VERY IMPORTANT
Step 3: Make sure your computer can play our demo video (click here to download the 3-minute, 61.6MB sample). You'll need the free Quicktime Player to do this, and a screen resolution that can display a 1280x720 video. If you have a slightly smaller screen resolution, run the player full-screen and it should resize the video. Be sure to test this before registering for the class! Older computers or less-powerful computers may have trouble playing this back at full-speed, so be sure to check!

Once you've completed all of the above steps, you're ready to register for a class!
