Welcome to The Gaming Planet's installation tutorial. This page will take you through the process of installing a game demo! Again, Don't Be Intimidated, YOU CAN DO IT! If you feel something is missing from this section, please E-Mail me at webmaster@gamingplanet.com with suggestions.

Go to the directory where your demo is located. To continue the tutorial click on the file extension of the file that you downloaded.

Double-Click the file. The file will then decompress into several other files. If a window pops up that asks you if you want to install the demo, go along with whatever the directions tell you. If the demo doesn't automatically start to install, then you should look for a text file that has the name "README." Open that file with the program "Notepad" and see what it says about installing the demo. The "README" file will likely tell you to look through the list of newly decompressed files and find the one that has the name "Setup" or "Install." Double-Click on that file and the installation process should begin. Also look through the "README" file for information on what buttons are used in the game and how to play the game. Now you're ready for the fun part! The installation most likely put a shortcut to the demo on the main Start menu, so look there first. If you see it, Click on it and start gaming! If it's not there go into the directory where you installed the demo and look for a file with the name of the game(Not The Original Downloaded File). Double-Click on it and you're gaming! Yee-Haw You Did It! You're And Internet Prodigy!! Have Fun & Keep Gaming!
********************************************************************************** ZIP:

Get Winzip at www.winzip.com, follow the installation process for ".EXE" files, and go back to the directory where your demo is and Double-Click the file. Winzip will decompress the ".zip" file into several other files and then you can proceed. I'm not going to go through the Winzip interface because there are several versions out there. You can figure it out! Next look for a text file that has the name "README." Open that file with the program "Notepad" and see what it says about installing the demo. The "README" file will likely tell you to look through the list of newly decompressed files and find the one that has the name "Setup" or "Install." Double-Click on that file and the installation process should begin. Also look through the "README" file for information on what buttons are used in the game and how to play the game. Now you're ready for the fun part! The installation most likely put a shortcut to the demo on the main Start menu in Windows, so look there first. If you see it, Click on it and start gaming! If it's not there go into the directory where you installed the demo and look for a file with the name of the game(Not The Original Downloaded File). Double-Click on it and you're gaming!
