Installing third-party games
Before you buy and install a game on your Advent computer
you need to make sure that it will work. Things to check are:
• What CPU (processor) is required?
• What sort of graphics card and how much video
memory is needed?
• What sort of sound card does it need?
• How much computer memory does the game need?
• How much free hard drive space is needed?
• What version of Windows® is needed?
• What version of DirectX® is needed?
You can find out what your Advent PC has by using the
DXDiag program. To open this program click Start > Run.
Type DXDIAG in the white box and click OK. The
information you need is on the System, Graphics, and Sound
tabs.
To install a game, insert the CD and allow the installation
program to run. Follow the onscreen instructions provided by
the game to finish the installation successfully.
