System Requirements

To fully enjoy SlideDog for Windows you need a couple of third-party software packages installed. We also recommend running SlideDog on a modern laptop with at least 8 GB of RAM. That being said, it pretty much comes down to what files you want to show and the requirements of their file viewers. If a specific PowerPoint show runs fine on your laptop, it will run just as fine in SlideDog.

Recommended System Requirements

SlideDog supports Windows 7 and later editions. If you are on 7 or 8, it’s recommended that you enable Desktop Composition/Aero if you’re planning to use SlideDog’s dual screen mode. In Windows 10 this is enabled by default.

SlideDog will pre-load the files you add to your playlists and therefore we recommend having at least 8 GB of RAM and a modern processor.

SlideDog will run on most modern computers with Windows 7 or later, but we recommend using the latest version of Windows which is currently at version 10.

Minimum System Requirements

• Windows 7 or later
• 2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor
• Intel GMA 950 or better (Windows Aero capable graphics chipset)
• 2 GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
• 1 GB of free disk space

Software Requirements

SlideDog will use programs on your computer to show presentation files correctly. The list below shows the different software that are needed for specific file types.

• PowerPoint Viewer 2010 or Office PowerPoint 2013, 2016 or 2019 (for displaying PowerPoints)
• Adobe Acrobat Reader or Adobe Acrobat Pro (for displaying PDFs)

SlideDog also requires the following runtimes/frameworks (that the installer will try to detect and download) installed on your machine:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) runtime
