software compatibility Our testing has found that blink! works with ANY program running on your computer. We recommend though that blink! be disabled BEFORE playing GRAPHIC intensive games. Why?...because games are usually designed to work on their OWN, with no other programmes operating in the background. We've found blink! works SO well that all the games we've tested are interrupted, even when the game is designed to have FULL control of your computer! To date, we can verify blink! system requirements to be as follows: Windows 95, 98, NT4, 2000 (or greater, although only some later operating systems have been fully tested) blink! itself only uses a little over 2MB RAM 2MB hard disk space 1.44MB 3.5" floppy disk or CD-ROM drive (if installing from disk) Minimum 256 colours (although blink will function with 16 colours)
