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

DirectX and supported hardware
We recommend that the FIFA 07 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 07 Demo
============================================================
The simplest method of uninstalling FIFA 07 Demo is to use "Uninstall FIFA 07 Demo" shortcut in the Start Menu (usually "Start Menu/All Programs/EA Sports/FIFA 07 Demo/Uninstall FIFA 07 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 07 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 07 Demo multi-tasks with all Windows applications, we recommend that you shut down other applications and run FIFA 07 Demo by itself when possible.

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

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

The following hot keys can be used in the game to access certain functions more quickly:

If you are experiencing problems with your video card and FIFA 07 Demo, try updating your video card driver by downloading the latest driver available from the video card manufacturer.
