setup program a few moments after the disk has
been inserted; it may take a few moments (depending on
the speed of your drive). If AutoPlay does not
run:
|
|
double-click the icon for your CD-ROM
drive under My Computer
|
|
|
double-click on the setup icon in
the CD-ROM's window
|
|
|
the setup program will run

What is the gray line at the bottom of the
display?
|
|

If you are running the World Beer Hunter at a
screen resolution of 640 x 480 pixels under

screen if the Taskbar's AutoHide feature is on.
You can avoid this by turning off the AutoHide
or Always on Top feature in the Taskbar
dialog box:

right-clicking the Taskbar (avoiding
any program buttons)
|

choosing properties from the pop-up
menu

the Taskbar Properties dialog box
will open
