Software Requirements

Gradebook Power can use Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista operating systems. About 2 MB of hard drive space is needed for the program and data files. Student data files can be kept on the hard drive, network drive, data diskette, or thumb drive.

Installation

The install program from the diskette will copy the Gradebook Power program and related files to your hard drive. The install program is set to install the program in the Grades folder on the C:\ drive.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of Gradebook Power, the program should be installed in the same folder. All versions use the same data file formats, COMMENTS.GRD, CONFIG.GRD, and CO files.
