WINDOWS VISTA IS NOT SUPPORTED BY ULM
The computing center supports the following software packages and system requirements. Any computer systems purchased by the University of Louisiana at Monroe must have the system requirements listed below.

If a computer system is purchased via grant dollars, and does not meet the system requirements below, technology support will be limited.  The following problems may be encountered when a system is purchased outside of the minimum requirements listed below:
  • Inability to connect the system to the campus network
  • Inability to upgrade the system with campus supported software packages
  • Technical services may be unable to repair the system or incur excessive costs in doing so, which would be charged to the department which purchased the system.
The computing center purchases computer systems in bulk twice a year.  Bulk orders reduce the costs of the systems and provides conformity among the systems serviced. State contract pricing is available with Dell, Gateway and Apple. In order for Technical Services to repair a computer (i.e. hard drive fails, network cards,etc) the system MUST be purchased via purchase order or have a state tag (if cost is over $1,000).
