The installation program needs 32 MB of free RAM. A minimum of 8-bit colour depth (256 colours) is required. Additionally, the installation program requires a minimum 640 X 480 screen resolution.
The machine should have at least 128MB of RAM and its processing speed (in Intel terms) should be at least 500MHz. 640x480 display at 16-bit colour (recommended 600x800 and colour quality of millions).
If TYPEQUICK is running slowly and at times freezing check that your machine meets the minimum hardware and system requirements.
The amount of disk space consumed by the installation will depend on the subset of programs installed. In multi-machine environments components can be installed on network drives to simplify updating issues. The table below indicates approximate requirements for various components.
Component | Space Required |
Java Runtime | 55Mb |
TQ Client Program | 6MB |
TQ Admin Program | 6MB |
TQ Server Program | 6MB |
Typequick Professional Resources | 20MB |
Typequick for Students Resources | 250MB |
SKE Resources | 6MB |
The TQ Server program creates and maintains an SQL database which will grow from a minimum requirement of around 5MB to a size dependent on the number of students using the Typequick application and the number of lessons attempted.
