You can either run the Pixfer for
Microsoft Windows XP Setup program directly from your
browser, or save it to your hard drive and run it from
there. When the Setup program is run, it automatically
installs Pixfer on your Windows XP machine.
system requirements
- Pixfer for Windows XP is designed to run on Microsoft Windows XP, and is tested under Service Pack 2. Although it may run on other versions of Windows, it has not been tested on any other version. Some functionality will almost certainly fail on anything other than XP or NT, including Windows 98 and ME.
- Around 200KB of hard drive space to install the software.
- Enough free RAM to temporary hold files as they are transferred. For example, if you are running three simultaneous transfers of 10MB files, you'll need around 30-35MB of free RAM for Pixfer to run efficiently.
