Lisa & Don Ridley, You should be able to run both programs on one computer provided you have met the adequate resource requirements on that PC. Refer to your the "release notes" that come with every software CD. There's good information in them there notes! A note on "Hard Drive Crashes"... If your PC crashed because your operating system became corrupted or the like, then you may still be able to retrieve data files off that hard drive utilizing it as a slave drive on another PC. Don't be too quick to put the PC on the curb for trash pick up. If your hard drive crashes because it threw a ball bearing or is making the same kind of noises the Amaya does when it sits idle, then chances are your drive is history and you should find the biggest boot you can find to kick yourself for not backing up your drive like you said you would do so many times before. I wish I had a nickel for every person who said "I just never found a free moment..." Steve, Don't jinks yourself by saying things like "Nothing right now can slow it down". Knock on plastic or something when you talk like that.

I run a Pentium 3.2mhz with 1gb of RAM and never get memory errors. My suggestion would be to make sure you have at least 512mb of ram but more if you run memory-hog programs such as Corel or Photoshop. I do run Photoshop, Designshop, Quickbooks, and MS Office on mine and I must say the computer is very fast on everything I do. Nothing right now can slow it down.

My PC hard drive crashed and I need to work today so I was wondering if I could run both systems off one computer?
