Hardware/software required to run this course
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.
You will need a minimum of 32 megabytes (MB) of Random Access Memory (RAM) (Windows NT
only: at least 4 MB of available space in the Registry). You need 500 MB of free hard-disk space as
well. You will also need an IBM-compatible PC with a 486 processor that meets the minimum
hardware requirements for the platform you are using, Windows 95 with Windows Messaging 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.
