The great majority of TMG users do not have problems with TMG on any
version of Windows. The amount of memory installed on a system does make a
difference with earlier versions of Windows requiring less than the newer
versions. Howeveer, memory is NOT the only consideration. There are a
lot of ways that Windows can be configured, e.g., different software switch
settings/options. Tech support can help a lot on this if you contact them
direct. Have a copy handy of the Help=>Trouble Report to Tech Support
(from the top menu) when you contact them or send it to them. Often they
can fix the problem over the phone or with a single e-mail.
