/Sorry ,I did sayI was a rookie.I didn't see "pac.exe" or properties etc.

Greetings

Download WIR- ME and WITP- ME
Extract zip to a directory of your choice.
open the new directory containing all the unzipped files.

To navigate to your chosen directory double click on 'My computer' choose the drive yoo unzipped the files to and open the game folder by double clicking on it.

In my case I unzipped the files to the games partion of my hard drive into a folder called WIR or WITPME H:\wir\ etc.

Cheers

Jev



I am really quite mad yoo know!
