DirectX 9.0c can be found on the Microsoft website: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx

Note: If you already have DirectX 9.0c (or higher) installed, it is not necessary to reinstall it.

DirectX and supported hardware
We recommend that FIFA 06 DEMO be run with DirectX 9.0c compatible sound cards and video cards.

We also suggest you update your sound card and video card driver to the newest release from the vendor or chipset website.


============================================================
4. Uninstalling FIFA 06 Demo
============================================================
The simplest method of uninstalling the FIFA 06 Demo is to use "Uninstall FIFA 06 Demo" shortcut in the Start Menu (usually "Start Menu/All Programs/EA Sports/FIFA 06 Demo/Uninstall FIFA 06 Demo").

Windows also has an "Add/Remove Programs" Icon in the Control Panel that you can use to uninstall the game.

============================================================
5. Memory Requirements
============================================================
a.) Memory requirements in Windows
FIFA 06 Demo requires a minimum of 256 MB of RAM to run the game (512 MB is recommended).

Note: The more system memory available, the better the game will perform in all areas.

b.) Running the game under stressful Windows conditions
At Electronic Arts we strive to bring you the best in graphics, audio and gameplay. We are always pushing the envelope of computer performance. While we have made every effort to ensure that FIFA 06 Demo multi-tasks with all Windows applications, we recommend that you shut down other applications (including virus scanners) and run FIFA 06 Demo by itself when possible.

c.) Virtual memory
We recommend that you let your operating system automatically manage the amount of virtual memory.

============================================================

6. Hot Keys
============================================================
The following hot keys can be used in the game to access certain functions more quickly:

F2=Tele camera
F3=Action camera
F4=Broadcast camera
F5=End to End camera
F6=Sideline camera
F7=Dynamic camera
F8=Widescreen camera
F9=Radar Toggle

ESC - Pause Menu

============================================================
7. Mouse, Keyboard and Controller Functionality
============================================================
You can use the mouse, keyboard or controller to navigate the game interface.

Once you are on the Side select screen, you must move whichever input device you plan to use in the game to the left or the right to select your team.

Please note that you may have to recalibrate your controllers in Windows in order to have the game detect them correctly.

To bring up the in-game pause menus, you can press the Start button (if your gamepad has one) or press ESC.

You can re-map your controls to customise your game experience from the Controls screen before entering gameplay. Please note that when using digital only gamepads you should not change the ‘Move Player’ setting to ‘Analog’ as this could cause undesirable effects in gameplay.

The use of a 360º-degree dual analog gamepad such as the Logitech Dual Action is highly recommended for full functionality.
