SETUP AND INSTALLATION
1. Start Windows
®
98/Me/2000/XP. Exit all other programs before installing.
2. Insert the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 CD-ROM game disc into your CD-ROM drive.
3. If AutoPlay is enabled, a title screen should appear. Click on the Install but-
ton. If AutoPlay is not enabled, double-click on the “My Computer” icon on
your Windows
®
desktop. Next, double-click on your CD-ROM icon. If the
install screen still does not appear at this point, double-click on the “My
Computer” icon, then double-click on your CD-ROM icon, then double-
click on the Setup icon.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish installing the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
CD-ROM game.
5. Once installation is complete, double-click on the RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 game
icon to start the game.
Note: Minimum install copies all of the files required to play the game, but
leaves some of the larger files on the CD. This option lets you conserve hard disk
space. Full install copies more files to your hard disk.The main difference you
may notice between Minimum and Full install is that with Full install you can
play two musical themes at once if two rides close to each other both have
music. Both Minimum and Full install require that the game disc be in your
CD-ROM drive in order to play the game.
