MXEditor will run on any Pentium II or faster Windows PC. Your PC should be equipped with an adequate amount

M

operating systems. It is not compatible with Windows 95 or previous versions of windows.

Note that many modern laptops do not come equipped with a serial port. If there is no serial port, purchase a USB

8

to Serial adapter. Although many manufacturers supply adapters or hubs for this purpose, we can vouch for the

operation of Belkin and Keyspan hubs and adapters.

MXEditor is installed via a self extracting installer file downloadable from 

www.hometheatermaster.com

. You need a
