*Windows Service Packs

Windows Service Packs are the way Microsoft updates Windows to keep it secure and reliable. If you have Automatic Updates turned on, or keep your copy of Windows up to date using Windows Update, you should have these already installed.

However, if you have problems installing PostureMinder, this may be the cause. Please visit Microsoft Windows Update and check what updates your version of Windows needs.

Other issues to consider when installing PostureMinder:

Please note that PostureMinder is currently only available in English.

As with most software, you will need Administrator rights to install PostureMinder. You may receive messages that the software you are trying to install is unsigned. Providing you obtain PostureMinder from our website or a legitimate CD, this is fine - please allow the software to install.

PostureMinder is built using Microsoft .NET technologies. It makes use of the Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 and Windows Installer 3.1. If neither of these are detected on your computer, the PostureMinder installer will attempt to install them. Please accept installing these components.

If your webcam has advanced features such as face tracking or visual effects, you will need to turn these off when using PostureMinder. You may also find that some webcams pop-up a control panel whenever PostureMinder accesses it - please refer to your webcam manufacturer's instructions to turn off this behaviour in your webcam's settings.

PostureMinder has been tested with many USB webcams. However, you may encounter problems or performance issues if your webcam is particularly old or cheap, particularly in very low or very bright lighting conditions. We recommend Logitech Quickcam Messenger as a minimum specification webcam for good performance.

If your webcam struggles to generate good quality images due to the lighting in your environment, you may need to improve your lighting and/or adjust your camera settings. Please refer to your webcam's manufacturer's instructions on how to get the best out of your webcam.
