2. Install DirectX and graphics drivers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

XPAC requires DirectX to work.

Most computers should already have DirectX installed, however
if you cannot use polygon graphics, you may need to install DirectX
from the XPAC CD.
To do this, open the directory 'SystemUpdate\DirectX9' on the CD
using Windows Explorer
and then double-click on the file 'dxsetup.exe'.

If you experience problems with polygon graphics, you may need to

install the latest
video drivers for your system. In the "XPAC 2006\Help" directory
there is a file called
"Index of Common 3D Card Manufacturers.htm" that contains links
to the home site
and driver page of common 3D card manufacturers.
• Install Xpac from your CD Installer to Program
Files\Runge Software
• Install the sentinel/hardkey
• Put the donggle on the right port.
• Restart the computer
• Confused ???? Open readme on folder Help
