• Browse to c:\Rebel (or wherever the game is installed)
• Find "msmpeg4.inf" right click on it
• Select install from the menu

OPN, RPV and RPA files are the data files associated with Rebel Strip Poker, and contain the data necessary to play the game and show the video portions

when you first started the game you were asked to give a password, that is what is being requested

If you did not enter a password there is a few reasons

1. The computer is not yours => Don't touch other peoples toys
2. Your Roommate has been at your computer => Kick his/her butt
3. The computer is secondhand and the game was previously registered => You really should wipe your hard drive and start again, you never know what you will catch...

For the last two please attach the file called "rebel.key" to an email and send it to us.

The attach command is usually a picture of a paperclip.

The file rebel.key is usually found in the "c:\rebel" folder

*NOTE* Rebel Strip Poker V1.4 allows you to delete the rebel.key file and start again.
