Restoration Manager has been designed to help make the restoration of your vehicle, quicker, easier and more enjoyable. It does this by helping you catalogue parts as they are removed from the vehicle and giving you the opportunity to make notes and take photographs that will help when you come to reassemble the vehicle.
You have the option of deciding whether the part is to be restored or replaced. If restored then you can create a list of restoration tasks that need to be undertaken on the part. As you can have common restoration tasks, such as shot blasting and chroming you can build up a list of these tasks and select as required. To help you get started we have included some common restoration tasks.
Restoration Manager runs on a Windows PC only with Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista/7. Due to Windows 95 not being able to support USB (universal serial bus), which is how the vast majority of cameras transfer pictures, we decided to integrate advanced imaging software that didn't work on Windows 95.
So, sorry if you were going to use a Windows 95 machine, it may work, but we can't guarantee it (no harm in trying a trial version). We would suggest a minimum specification of a Pentium 2 350MHZ (or equivalent) with 64Mb of RAM as a absolute minimum. As with everything computer related generally the bigger the better, and particularly if you plan to use the photograph functionality.
To install Restoration Manager you need only 5MB of space, but if you plan to store a large number of good quality images you will need a lot more storage. Hard disk space is cheap and it's quite easy to add an extra hard drive to most PCs. Due to the amount of information displayed, you really need to have a minimum screen resolution of 800 x 600, showing as many colours as possible. The more colours that can be displayed at this resolution the more use the photographs will be. |
