Support: System Requirements

Most MyEconLab® courses support either Windows® or Macintosh® operating systems and a supported version of Microsoft Internet Explorer®, Firefox®, or Safari®. System requirements may vary depending on your course. To check the requirements for your specific course:

Go to the MyEconLab® Browser Check (some courses have the Installation Wizard instead).
Select your textbook from the drop-down menu and click Submit.
Click the System Requirements link on the first page of the Browser Check (or Installation Wizard) to review what you need.

 

Basic requirements for all MyEconLab® courses:

Internet connection: Cable/DSL, T1, or other high-speed for multimedia content; 56k modem (minimum) for tutorials, homework, and testing.
Memory: 64 MB RAM minimum
Monitor resolution: 1024 x 768
Plug-ins: You need certain plug-ins and players from the MyEconLab® Browser Check or Installation Wizard (also found inside your course)
 

Compatibility with Microsoft Internet Explorer® 8

On March 19, 2009, Microsoft made Internet Explorer 8 (IE 8) part of its update system. We are working to make MyEconLab® compatible with IE 8, and in the meantime it will work using the Compatibility View option. You will not need to take any action to enable this. The site will detect IE 8 and have it automatically imitate the previous web browsing functionality in IE 7.

For updated information on Pearson’s product support of IE 8, read the current 24/7 Support article on IE 8 . Click the Notify Me by Email if this Answer is Updated button in the article to keep apprised of how Pearson is working to support this important release.
