Your new Internet PC is not
only a powerful tool for
surfing the Internet and
running software, it also
allows you to play games.
Did you know ...
You should always use the
same disc drive (CD-ROM or
DVD-ROM) that you used to
install a game when you play
the game. If you experience
problems installing or playing
a game, contact the game
manufacturer for assistance, or
visit their Web site for updates.
Your computer can also play
digital audio files, such as
music downloaded from the
Internet. You can download
MP3 files and play them
using the Windows Media
Player software.
