Minimum requirements to install MIL
The following lists the minimum requirements for your computer so that you can
use MIL on your computer.
• Microsoft Windows XP with SP2, or Microsoft Windows Vista with SP1 (32-bit
version only).
• A DVD reader.
• Up to 1.6 Gbytes of free hard disk space.
• Administrator privileges on your computer.
Minimum requirements to configure your Matrox Iris GT
The Matrox Iris portal website and the Matrox Discover utility use ActiveX
components. ActiveX must be enabled on your computer. In addition, the Matrox
Iris portal website must be listed in Microsoft Internet Explorer as a trusted site.
Verify that the following settings under the ActiveX controls and plug-ins element
are either set to
Enabled or Prompt :
• Download signed ActiveX controls.
• Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins.
• Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting.
• Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe. Note that, for this setting,
we recommend you set this to Prompt rather than Enable .
Note that, if these settings are set to Prompt , you will be prompted each time an
ActiveX control requires downloading and is waiting to start. You must accept
each prompt (click on
OK ) to allow Matrox Iris GT to use the ActiveX object.
