INSTALLING &
STARTING

Click Next to begin the install, and

In the event the Launch Panel does not
appear when you insert the CD, double-
click on the
MY COMPUTER icon, then the
CD-ROM icon, and then the SETUP.EXE file

You will be asked to select the compo-
nents you wish to install. The game will
run more smoothly with less load time if
the Game Content, Maps and Speech
files are installed to the hard drive. Do
not uncheck DirectX unless you are
absolutely sure you have already
installed DirectX 7.0a on your machine.
If you install DirectX 7.0a, you will
