Before you run or configure anything...
File Extensions
If you have file extensions turned off, you'll want to turn them on. Sphere is just a pain without them showing. To do this follow these simple directions:
	Double click My Computer
	Double click C:\
	In the top menu, (Windows 95/98/ME) go to VIEW (Windows 2000/NT/XP) go to TOOLS
	Go to FOLDER OPTIONS
	Click on the VIEW tab at the top
	Uncheck the box that says "Hide file extensions for known file types"
UO Install
If you plan to play on the same computer Sphere will be running on, make sure there is a full installation of Ultima Online. If you did only a partial install, you will get errors later on about a missing map0.mul. If you only plan to host Sphere and not play UO, you'll need to place the following .mul files on the computer for Sphere to use:
	
	map0.mul, statics0.mul, staidx0.mul, multi.idx, multi.mul, and tiledata.mul
If you wish to have support for the Ilshenar map, you will also need:
	
	map2.mul, statics2.mul, and staidx2.mul
Unzipping Sphere
This has been made as painless as possible for this new version. All you will have to do is unzip it. Anywhere you want will work. Aside from having to edit a couple small things in sphere.ini, this version will run "out of the box" so to speak. If you do not have a tool to unzip this, you can download winzip at http://www.winzip.com.
