From the Nvivo2.0 read.me file: "This version of NVivo runs on Windows ME, 2000, and XP. Windows 9x and Windows NT4.0 are not officially tested or supported operating systems for this release of NVivo. Please visit the QSR website for all the latest information on supported platforms and QSR products." I wish I'd read that before deciding to test the program's suitability for installing in a computer lab (NT based) for teaching purposes!
