ProShow and Windows

ProShow is optimized to run on PCs using Windows 7 and 8. If you are
using an older version of Windows, you should consider upgrading. While
ProShow will run on systems using Windows XP or Vista, those operating
systems are no longer supported by Microsoft..

Windows 64-bit Editions

ProShow has been tested with 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and 8, and it
works normally.
Provided that you have properly working device drivers installed for all your
computer's hardware, you should be able to run ProShow under 64-bit
versions of Windows without problems. While ProShow itself is not 64-bit,
users of 64-bit operating systems may experience slight improvements in
performance from faster OS performance.

Installing ProShow

In most cases, you can install ProShow without any additional steps.
Download and install ProShow as you normally would. In rare situations,
you may need to take a couple extra steps to ensure a good installation.
These steps are listed below.

Windows includes UAC (User Account Control). UAC adds additional
protection by limiting what software can do on your computer without your
permission. Since software needs your permission for some tasks (like
installing), it is critical that you install ProShow with the correct permission
and steps.
