With Windows running on your computer, place the
Pharaoh CD into your CD-ROM drive. In a few sec-
onds, Windows’ AutoPlay feature should display a
screen with four buttons: Play, Install, Uninstall and
Quit. Click “Install” to begin.
Should AutoPlay not work on your computer, double
click (click twice quickly) on the “My Computer” icon
on your desktop. Find the icon for your CD-ROM
drive and double-click on it. In the menu that appears,
find the item called “Setup.exe.” Double click on it to
start the installation.
The Install program then automatically chooses a file
path for
Pharaoh . If you want to designate your own
path for
Pharaoh , click “Browse” and pick a location.
Otherwise, click “Next” to continue the installation.
You’ll be asked to choose among Small, Medium and
Large Installs. Each version offers the full features of
the game; the difference will be the speed of the game.
The Full Install puts the entire game on your hard
drive. It takes up the most room, but offers the best
performance. Laptop users will especially appreciate
the ability to remove the CD after the initial copy-pro-
tection check. The Medium Install puts the most
commonly used elements on your hard drive and takes
up less room than the Large Install. The Small Install
puts only basic elements on your hard drive and runs
the rest of the game’s features from the CD. It takes up
the least room on your hard drive.
Installing
Pharaoh can take as long as ten minutes.
Once the program is installed, you will see a box
