1 SPSS for Windows Single-User Installation Instructions What You Need to Run SPSS for Windows The minimum hardware and software requirements for SPSS for Windows are: Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows NT 4.0, Service Pack 6. Pentium or Pentium-class processor. For Windows Me, Windows 98, and Windows XP, 32MB or more of random-access memory (64MB or more recommended). For Window NT and Windows 2000, 64MB or more of random access memory. A hard disk with at least 80MB of available disk space (for the Base system). A CD-ROM drive. A graphics adapter with 800 x 600 resolution (SVGA) or higher. For connecting with an SPSS Server, a network adaptor running the TCP/IP network protocol. You will also need the following information: Your serial number, which is included on your CD-ROM case. Your license code, which is included with your system on a separate sheet of paper. This enables you to install the Base system and any SPSS options that you have purchased. If your license number is all zeros or if you cannot find it, call your sales representative. Note: You cannot install the single-user version of SPSS on an NT operating system that uses NT Terminal Server. Note for Users with Previous Versions of SPSS (version 7.5 or later) If you have customized menus or toolbars in your software and you want to keep your customized settings, do not uninstall the existing version of SPSS before installing SPSS. Uninstalling the existing versions will remove any record of your product customizations. When you install SPSS, install over the existing version of SPSS, in the same directory. This will preserve your customized settings. Installing SPSS To install SPSS, insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The AutoPlay feature will present a menu. To run the Setup program, choose Install SPSS, and then follow the instructions that appear on the screen. Note: To install SPSS on Windows NT or Windows 2000, you must be logged on to your computer with administrator privileges.

Production mode is useful if you often run the same set of timeconsuming analyses, such as weekly reports. Statistics Coach. The Statistics Coach is an interactive, wizard-like 'advisor' designed to help you choose the type of statistical analysis or display to use with your data. The Statistics Coach asks you a series of questions about the kind of data you have and what you want to do with it, showing you an illustrated example of each option. When you've decided what you want, you can open the appropriate dialog box from within the Statistical Coach itself. The Statistics Coach requires Internet Explorer 4 or higher.
