2) INSTALLING THE GAME

Preparation
Installation is normally the simplest part of our adventure.
But to start off properly, we must advise you to close as many
programs as possible before starting the installation of
Runaway 2. You can never be careful enough, so give the
machine as much power as possible to install the foundations
of the game on your hard drive.

Installation
Take the Runaway 2 DVD. Insert it in your DVD-ROM drive
(make sure you open the slot beforehand, this helps) and
you're off! The installation program will start automatically.
If it doesn't, you're out of luck: go into the computer,
then click on the icon of your DVD-ROM drive. Locate the
setup.exe file (or just setup) and double-click it to start
the installation program. All you then have to do is follow
the instructions which appear on the screen to finalise the
process. Restart your computer if you are asked to do so,
think about inserting the DVD of Runaway 2 before starting
to play, and there you are: you are ready.

3) STARTING THE GAME

During the installation, a shortcut will be created on your
desktop as well as a Quick Launch icon in the Windows Start menu.
To start the game, double click on the shortcut created on your
desktop, or click on the Start Menu, then select "Programs"
(or "All Programs" if you're running Windows XP), then select
"Focus", then "Frogwares", then "The Awakened"and finally select
the "play The Awakened” icon.

4) SOME TECHNICAL POINTS

In order to be able to offer graphics matching your expectations
and high-quality visual and sound effects, Runaway 2 uses, among
other things, DirectX 9 technology. For the game to operate correctly,
you are highly recommended to accept installation of DirectX 9.0c,
which is proposed following the installation of the game. This
program is necessary for the game to operate correctly.
If you already have a version of DirectX 9, the program will
simply update the files.

In parallel with this version of DirectX, you are strongly
recommended to update the drivers of your graphics card.
These drivers are the link between your graphics card and
the DirectX technology used by the game.
The current versions of the best-known graphics drivers are
available in the game's DVD in the folder "Drivers".
Carefully select your version of Windows, then your type
of graphics card.
If in doubt, or for more information, go to the Forum
of the official site of Runaway 2 (www.runaway-thegame.com/forum),
under the heading Technical Forum.
