If the game sounds don't work, the cause is probably the missing Windows Media 
Player. If you don't have it, install it. Download and instructions for the 
installation of Windows Media Player you can get from Microsoft web pages at 
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia.

Game's installation package contains also Visual Poker Editor for creating new
opponents. Visual Poker Editor is a shareware program. License fee is 5 USD or
5 EUR. See order information at http://www.geocities.com/vpoker2000/
license.html. You can also get order information by sending e-mail to
vpoker2000@hotmail.com (please remember to add your full name in the message).

Without license you can get familiar with the Visual Poker Editor, but you
cannot generate opponent files. After payment you will receive personal license
file via e-mail. License activation can be done by copying license file to the
game's installation folder. You can also activate license from Visual Poker
Editor by selecting File->Activate License... and browsing the license file.
After license activation you can generate opponent files without limitations.

Note that your name and e-mail address are included in the opponent files,
which you have generated. Distribution of the license file is thus not
recommended, because license information will be included in all opponent files
created. Inappropriate material in opponent files could then be associated with
you!
