I can understand this but, as Lorenzo reported, there are many XPs still in use and, given you use it behind a firewall and do not use it to navigate on Internet, how can it possibly harm anyone? > Regarding Radeon cards, there are issues: > http://kicad-pcb.org/help/known-system-related-issues/#_bad_graphics_cards ok will add a link for those issues... > "pre-HD" is also flawed for Intel cards as in the case of the broken > 4500 GMA theres a "M" and "HD" version released simultaneously.

Check the opengl specs of the card: - Intel: No cards that came before the HD-Graphics, regardless of the wording HD. Intel cards that are reported working starts from model HD2000 and higher. - NVidia: from NVIDIA support page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nv_ogl2_support.html NVIDIA support for OpenGL 2.0 begins with the Release 75 series of drivers. GeForce FX (NV3x), GeForce 6 Series (NV4x), NV3xGL-based Quadro FX and NV4xGL-based Quadro FX GPUs, and all future NVIDIA GPUs support OpenGL 2.0. - Ati: should work any modern Radeon chip even in the APU (GPU in the main processor). but check for some issues here: http://kicad-pcb.org/help/known-system-related-issues/#_bad_graphics_cards Common System Requirements (software specs): - wxwidgets 3.0.2 - wxpython 3.0.1 - See: http://kicad-pcb.org/help/known-system-related-issues/ for software specific issues. Specific System Requirements Windows Apple Mac OSX GNU/Linux Other OSes Windows The software and hardware prerequisites for installing KiCad on a Windows system are as follows: Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, or Windows 10; Apple - Mac OS X The software and hardware prerequisites for installing on a Apple Mac OS X computer are as follows: Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) or higher; GNU/Linux The software and hardware prerequisites for installing on Linux are as follows: Any modern Linux distro with OpenGl 2.0 or higher elabled graphics should go. For example Linux Ubuntu 12.04 or higher. Android/Linux The Android/Linux platform is actually NOT supported. Other OSes Other systems (notably Unix *BSD) may be fully working but are actually not ufficially supported. --------------------- Comments?
