Note
Pix2Net is an intense graphics program that is meant to be run locally. If you attempt to use it with remote display software, such as NoMachine NX, Pix2Net is not guaranteed to be responsive (or even work).
Installation¶
Separate installers are provided for each operating system.
Windows¶
Run the Windows installer. If this is the first time you are installing Pix2Net, make sure the
Visual Studio 2010 redistributable, Java Runtime Environment 8, and
the Sentinel HASP Run-time packages are selected for installation.
After the installation, insert the security dongle into your computer. Launch Pix2Net by double-clicking the Pix2Net shortcut on the desktop, or by going to Start → All Programs → Pix2Net → Pix2Net.
Troubleshooting¶
If you experience rendering issues while using Pix2Net (i.e. you see white squares where images
are supposed to be), try updating the drivers for your graphics card. To find out what driver you are currently
using, open the Start menu, type in dxdiag and hit Enter. Click Display 1, look at the Drivers group on the
right, and note the Version field. Then go to the appropriate website for your graphics card and make sure that
you are using the latest version of the driver:
