INSTALLATION

Before installing the game: 

A.	Make sure your computer system includes a properly installed 3D accelerator video card supporting Glide and/or Direct X libraries.
B.	Make sure your system has installed Direct X version 7.0 or higher.
C.	Check for free space on your hard disk. You will need at least 350 Mb reserve to install and run the game.

After checking these, you can proceed to installation. 

1.	Insert the Killer Tank CD into CD-ROM drive.
If your operational system supports autorun, the installation program will run automatically after you insert CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. Otherwise, you will have to start the installation routine manually. Please do the following:
2.	Open "My computer" folder, point the mouse cursor onto the icon of CD-ROM drive and double click the mouse left button. In the root directory of CD-ROM find AUTORUN.EXE and start running this file by double clicking on it
3.	Follow the instructions on screen to accomplish installation.
4.	In the Windows Start menu select and launch: Programs/Akaei/Killer Tank/Killer Tank. 
5.	Open Video Cards menu and select the appropriate video card. When you choose the correct option, you will see test animation scenes running in a small window. 
6.	Adjust Textures Quality and Screen Resolution for the game. Better quality requires more system resources. 
7.	Click the Launch button...
