Software Requirements

WinHelp patch for Windows 7 and Windows Vista: The following Microsoft patch is recommended, but not required, when using ArcGIS Desktop, ArcInfo Workstation, ArcGIS Engine or ArcReader on Microsoft Vista or Windows 7. ArcGIS Desktop, ArcInfo Workstation, ArcGIS Engine and ArcReader provide pop-up context sensitive help topics for tools, commands and dialogs delivered using WinHlp32. WinHlp32 won't function on Windows 7 and Windows Vista without this patch. Here is Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 917607 about this patch, which also contains links so you can download the patch. If you access pop-up context sensitive help without this patch being present, you'll get a message from Windows prompting you to download the patch. For best usability we recommend installing the patch at the time you install ArcGIS. For additional information, please refer to ESRI KowledgeBase article 32530 .

Printer Support

Windows ArcGIS supports printing to any Microsoft certified Windows printer using the native driver in ArcGIS. Please note that some printer drivers do not support complex maps and the ArcPress printer driver or additional hardware may be needed for these complex maps.

 ESRI recommends the following configuration when printing large maps with the ArcPress printer drivers:

o Pagefile system size of 4096 MB is recommended. ArcPress depends on being able to acquire potentially large contiguous blocks of memory to process a map. The windows limit is 2048 MB and by having a pagefile.sys file of at least twice that size helps ensure that other applications running and using the pagefile system will not introduce an unexpected limit for the ArcPress printer driver. o Pagefile system should be stored on a dedicated partition or, if possible, a dedicated drive. This will prevent the file from becoming fragmented and diminishing ArcPress's ability to acquire contiguous blocks of memory. o If large complex maps do not print, then reboot the computer to ensure the pagefile system is cleared. If the pagefile system is not a dedicated drive or partition, make sure that drive does not need to be defragmented. o Disk Space: at least 10 GB of free space is required on the drive where %TEMP% is located, as potentially large temporary files will be written there while ArcPress is processing a map for printing.

UNIX Please note that some printer drivers do not support complex maps and the ArcPress printer driver or additional hardware may be needed for these complex maps. Supported Relational Database Management Systems
