Introduction

Payday Freecell is a a fun, free-flying card game played by a single player. Though the gameplay itself may seem simple, it does require a bit of strategy. If you can make the right moves at the right time, the payoff is rewarding. Those who want to reach payday sooner are sure to take advantage of Freecell Buddy.

Freecell Buddy scans the Freecell game then automatically begins keeping track of the gameplay itself thus enabling the Buddy to play (or show) the right move at the right time.

Menu Options

	The File menu exits or closes the Buddy.
	The Options menu allows you to access Freecell Buddy's settings and change them to suit your needs (see below). It also offers an opportunity to refer a buddy (tell a friend) about Freecell Buddy and/or request a new feature.
	The Rooms menu has one of most valuable features of Freecell Buddy. It contains backdoors to each of Pogo's Payday Freecell rooms. This feature lets you enter a room even if its full. Note: If the room does not load, login to any Pogo Freecell game with your username and password first then select the desired room from the list.
	The Help menu provides instructions on how to use Freecell Buddy, a link to the Play Buddy Help Center, shortcuts to buy and register your copy, and a valuable Bug Report feature to use when Freecell Buddy isn't working. But perhaps the most valuable feature here is the auto check at startup which automatically checks for any updates.

How To Use

• Log on to Pogo games with your username and password.
• Launch Freecell Buddy and use the ROOMS option to quickly enter a game room OR manually enter a game room.
• When your game opens, Freecell Buddy automatically recognizes it and is ready to work.

Optimizing Performance

• Keep off!: Keep Freecell Buddy off of your game window so that it can always see the game and play efficiently.

HELP!

Now make sure that all the system requirements for the Buddy are met. These include Windows XP or Vista, Internet Explorer, Sun Java, and appropriate display settings.
