NSTALLATION
Thank you for purchasing Empire Earth!  This chapter describes how to install Empire Earth
on your computer.  It also provides some tips on how to maximize the performance of the
game on your computer system.  For those who would like some hands-on instruction about
the basics of the game, we recommend that you play through the Learning Scenarios,
accessible on the Single Player menu, after you have installed the game.
This manual is a complete reference guide for the game.  Chapters III and IV provide all the
information you need to setup and play any kind of single player or multiplayer game of
Empire Earth.  Chapter V is a written walkthrough for starting a Standard game on a Random
Map.  It includes tips and suggestions to get you on your way to building a great empire, and
is recommended for those who already have a little experience with real-time strategy games.
The rest of the manual provides detailed information on all of the features in the game as well
as tips, advanced user information, and lots of historical background.
Installing Empire Earth
To install Empire Earth, put the Empire Earth CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.  When the
installation screen appears, click the Install Empire Earth button and then follow the on-screen
instructions.
When the installation is complete, click the Finish button.  If you chose to view the Readme
file (recommended), it will open so you can see any important last-minute information about
Empire Earth.  The installation screen remains open so that you can play the game.  Other
ways to launch the game are explained in Chapter III.
NOTE: You must have a working sound card installed in your computer to 
play Empire Earth.  If you do not, Empire Earth may not start properly.  If you
have a working sound card, a speaker icon (to control sound volume) will be visible
on your Windows taskbar.
NOTE: If for some reason the installation screen does not appear (if you have 
Autoplay disabled, for example), double-click on the My Computer icon on
you desktop and then double-click the icon for the CD-ROM drive.  Then double-
click the Autoplay.exe file in the file list.  The installation screen will then appear.
