What system requirement does Lightburn have?

Hello,

I would like to run Lightburn on an old laptop, when I try to start it I get an error message that the system requirements are not sufficient.

It has Windows 7 installed, 4 GB RAM, an Intel i5 2410 with 2,3 GHz and a Nvidia GT250M Graphic Card.

Is this really not sufficient? I only need the laptop to communicate with the laser, I’m not planning to work on my Lightburn projects on the laptop.

Thank you!

This should have a different reason. I’m running it on a ThinkPad from 2009 with similar specs without dedicated graphics. It works fine, even multiple instances in parallel.

From documentation. Is your system 64 bit or 32 bit? That seems to be the only issue I can see.

Rather than send the Lightburn file to the laptop, just send the GCode file to it. Then you can use a GCode sender program to feed it to the laptop. Of course, this eliminates the ability to make last-minute changes to the project.

Is the hard drive nearly full? Does the PC have USB 2.0 or higher ports? What BIOS does the machine have? I cannot think of anything else it could be.

Thank you very much for your answers!
Antivir “detected” many Lightburn files as some kind of Trojan horse, so it blocked Lightburn and I didn’t see any notification about that. I guess Antivir is wrong :sweat_smile: (didn’t get updated since 2014). So it’s all good now :blush: Thank you again! :pray:
