INSTRUCTIONS:
1.) Change your computer monitor's settings if they are not correct for the game:
-Your monitor's color must be set to 16 bit depth (on Macintosh this is called "Thousands of Colors")
-Your monitor's resolution must be 800 x 600

2.) Make sure your speaker volume is up. The game has audio.

3.) Insert the CD ROM into your CD ROM drive.

4.) Drag the 'DragToDesktp' folder from the CD ROM to your computer's desktop. (It contains about 400mb of content and should take around three minutes to copy.) Remove the CD ROM after copying the folder and, if you are using a Macintosh, RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.

5.) Open the 'DragToDesktp' folder. If you are on a Windows machine, double click on the Windows file inside that folder. If you are on a Macintosh machine, double click on the Macintos file. Double click only once and wait for the game to open. (Multiple double clicks will open multiple copies of the game and it will run very slow.)

6.) After the game opens, follow the instructions on the screen.

7.) After the initial "helicoptering in" sequence, you will land in the hallway. At that time Hit the '?' (question mark button) in the lower left area of the console. The console door will open.

8.) Read the instructions then click on the link that reads "Click here for a description of the parts of your console."
