* DVMAX should run in compatibility mode for Windows XP, but we have not tested all older versions on Windows Vista/7
**Windows 8.1 will not be able to print invoices and some reports due to a Microsoft bug. All other aspects of the DVMAX program work.
*** Mac OS 10.6 will sometimes prompt for the OS Admin password when printing if logged in as a standard user. A delay is also noticed when printing.
**** DVMAX 7.5 will 'run' on Mac OS 10.9, but the Appointment Scheduler will NOT work at all.
***** While DVMAX 7.6r2 will 'run' on Mac OS 10.6, earlier iterations of 10.6 can have problems rendering the appointment scheduler. Our recommendation for consistency and greatly improved rendering is to use no lower than 10.7.
