Over the years since I have been using GenoPro, initially I had the free version, which I upgraded to paid version, I also once downloaded a Beta version, and presently I have the GenoPro 2007 ver 2.5.3.9 which is the latest version. While deleting unwanted programs to free up space on my harddisk I discovered that there is a "GenoPro" directory (without the year in the name) using up 3.94 MB of disk space, another directory named "GenoPro Beta" ver 2.b19f using up 6 MB, and also the directory "GenoPro 2007" ver 2.5.3.9 as well. Is it safe to delete the "GenoPro" and "GenoPro Beta" directories or are these directories also necessary for "GenoPro 2007" to function?

You only need one directory for GenoPro. You might need the Beta version if you need to open old files (backups?) If your present version, (which is now calle GenoPro 2011) does not open an old file it will politely warn you of this and you can re-instal the older file; load the data file and save in xml format, which 2011 will import.
You do not need the older versions

Thanks for replying for the post. You may simply delete the folder of older versions of GenoPro, such as C:\Program Files\GenoPro Beta\. If you ever need to open a .gno file created by the Beta and you need the specific version, you may download it at http://www.genopro.com/archives/. In the rare event GenoPro 2011 is unable to open a .gno file created by an older version, GenoPro 2011 will display you a message with a link to download the specific version which will allow the conversion of the old file format to the new file format.

I don't know whether it's the right place to ask this question or not...But still I would like to know what is the minimum hardware and minimum files required to run GenoPro??

GenoPro seems to be very light in its hardware requirements, just needing a Windows PC. There are some limitations in display options on W95 &W98, due to the OS, not GenoPro. It can, with some difficulty, be got to run on Linux etc (ie earlier Macs) by using Wine but for a modern Mac one of the PC variants is a better option. Wine options do not have the Report Writer yet. Tablets etc are not an option.
The only comment on hardware is that a large monitor is an advantage but not essential. As the starting point for your data is the on-screen genogram a large display means you can see more at once, without having to scroll around. However you can place bookmarks on the genogram so quickly jump to a particular part of the display.
