Starters Orders 2 v1.084
------------------------

UPDATING FROM OLDER VERSIONS (pre 1.084)
---------------------------------------

If you are patching then as from version 1.08 game save files and horse exports are stored in a different location on your hard drive. This change is to allow Windows Vista compatibility. If updating and you wish to retail your old saved games and/or horse exports, rcae replays then please follow the following procedure:

1.	Your new files will be stored in the 'STARTERS ORDERS 2' sub folder in a new folder on your hard drive most likely in the 'documents and settings' folder. To find the exact location of the 'STARTERS ORDERS 2' folder install and run the game and click on the 'RACE CONSTRUCTION KIT' menu option. At the bottom of the screen a path will be displayed where your new game files will be saved. Make a note of this path (excluding the last 'exports' item) and Use this as a guide to copy the following files. Once you are sure you have copied these files correctly you may delete the old folder (location usually: 'C:\games\starters orders 2\saves\').

2.	Saved games. If you wish to continue your old saved games browse the game install location using windows explorer (usually 'C:\games\starters orders 2\saves\') and copy the entire contents of this folder. Browse the new 'saves' location (for example: 'c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\starters orders 2\saves') and PASTE the old files into this location. You will now be able to continue playing your old games. Once you are sure you have copied these files correctly you may delete the old folder (location usually: 'C:\games\starters orders 2\saves\') to free up hard drive space. Important: be sure to copy to the 'saves' and NOT the 'saves' folder.

3.	If you have exported any horses or have any race replays (usually only if you take part in the online league) you will want to copy your exports over. browse the game install location using windows explorer again (usualy 'C:\games\starters orders 2\exports\') and copy the entire contents of this folder. Browse the new 'exports' location (for example: 'c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\starters orders 2\exports') and PASTE the old files into this location. Once you are sure you have copied these files correctly you may delete the old folder (location usually: 'C:\games\starters orders 2\exports\') to free up hard drive space.


The game will still work if you do not follow the above steps and copy your old files but your old saved games and exports will not be available.
