Vista & Windows 7 Recommendations

It is strongly recommended that you turn off User Account Control (UAC). If UAC is on, you may experience slow network connects, problems with Solid Edge installation and product removal, problems with Solid Edge licensing, problems with Insight web parts and perhaps other problems. To turn off UAC, go to Control Panel - User Accounts and Family Safety - User Accounts - Turn User Account Control On or Off.

Display System Requirements & Information

Solid Edge will run on graphics drivers that support Windows Vista or Windows 7. Contact your graphics driver manufacturer to determine whether their graphics adapter/driver support these operating systems.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a professional graphics card that is designed for CAD applications. For information about cards used in testing Solid Edge and results, refer to: http://support.ugs.com/online_library/certification/

At least a 512MB graphic card is recommended when working with large assemblies or complex parts.
