RISC OS Updates

VirtualAcorn Updates

IMPORTANT: Installing these updates

Please note that the updates on this page need to be applied in the order they are listed. The updates perform cumulative actions, so if you run updates out of sequence later updates will fail to install. So find the earliest update that you need, install that, then install all the other updates that follow, even if you don't currently feel that you need them. Before installing any updates find your CD serial number (it's printed on your CD) and check which is the earliest update you need, then install all the updates from that point onwards.

All of these updates are Windows programs. To install an update first quit VRPC, then download the update using Windows. Next find the update on your harddisc (using Windows). Then open the update (it will be in a .zip file) then finally double click on the update and follow the instructions on screen.
