How do I make it work?

Users must be running Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 and DirectX 9 or upwards. The Microsoft Update site can check that these are installed. Unzip the zip file, ensuring all extracted files stay in the same folder. Run "Notrip.exe". Ensure your recording device is set to something sensible in your Windows sound configuration.
