INSTALLATION

There are two possible types of installation: partial or full. By default, a partial installation will be done. That means you will need

to keep your disk in the disk drive while playing. The full installation allows you to avoid using the DVD. However this type of installation

requires 1.2 GB of free space on the hard disk of your computer.

The following procedure applies to both types of installation. In order to perform a full install you must click on the “Options” button

and then on the Full Install button.

Important: If more than one account has been created on your computer, it is important to install the game in an administrative account.

( Generally, the administrative account is the first account created on the computer. If your computer has only one account, you can just

ignore this.)
