In order to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos, you must first install the program on your computer's hard drive. The Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos CD contains an Autorun screen that automatically guides you through the installation process.

1) Insert the CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive.
2) Once the Autorun screen appears, click INSTALL.
3) Follow the on-screen installation instructions.

If the Autorun screen does not appear:
1) Double-click on the MY COMPUTER icon on your computer's desktop. On computers running Windows XP, the MY COMPUTER icon can also be found on the START menu.
2) Double-click on the CD-ROM drive showing the Yu-Gi-Oh! icon.
3) Double-click Autorun.exe.

Once you have successfully installed the game, you're ready to play!

3) Autorun Menu

The Autorun Menu will appear any time the CD is inserted in the CD-ROM drive. The menu has several options:

- INSTALL - Click to install the game. This option is only available if the game is not already installed.
- PLAY - Begin playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos.
- EXIT - Close the Autorun Menu.

4) Begin Playing

Now that you've installed the game, there are several ways to begin playing:

1) The Autorun screen will appear each time you insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. Click PLAY to run the game.
2) Alternatively, you can click on the Windows START button, choose Programs, KONAMI, Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos, and select YUGI THE DESTINY.
3) You may also begin the game by double-clicking the YUGI THE DESTINY icon on your desktop.

Note: You will need to have the CD in your CD-ROM drive in order to launch the game.

5) Uninstall

If you need to uninstall Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos, you may do any of the following:

- Click on the START button, choose Programs, KONAMI, Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos, and select Uninstall.
- Click on the START button, go to Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, and remove Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos.

6) Memory and Performance

Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos requires at least 128 MB of RAM and a 450 MHz processor; the performance of the game will improve if you have more RAM and a faster processor. Regardless of your machine specs, you can maximize your available memory and increase the overall performance of the game by doing the following:

- Close any open windows.
- Shut down all other programs, including system tray programs.
- Defragment your hard drive.
- Make sure to have additional free space on your hard drive.
- Reduce your system's Hardware Sound Acceleration. To do this, click on the Windows Start button, select "Run," enter the word "dxdiag," wait for the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to appear, click on the Sound tab, and then slide the Hardware Sound Acceleration Level bar to "None."

If you get a "Not Enough Memory" error when you first start the game, you may need to increase the virtual memory that is available in Windows.

7) Saved Games

If you wish to backup your saved deck, you can explore the directory in which Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos is installed. By default, this directory can be found at "c:\Program Files\KONAMI\Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos YUGI THE DESTINY." In this directory, you should be able to find a file called "deck.ydc." This file contains information about your deck in the game and can be saved to an alternate directory for backup purposes.

Because saved games are not deleted during the uninstallation process, your saved deck should still be accessible if you ever decide to uninstall and then reinstall the program at a later time.

8) Troubleshooting

SLOWDOWN PROBLEMS:
If you experience slowdown in the game, you may be able to eliminate the slowdown and improve the game's performance by changing your system's hardware acceleration. In order to change your system's hardware acceleration level, click on the Windows Start button, select "Run," enter the word "dxdiag," wait for the DirectX Diagnostic Tool to appear, click on the Sound tab, and then slide the Hardware Sound Acceleration Level bar to "None."

PROBLEMS LAUNCHING THE GAME:
If you are having difficulty launching the game:
1) Close any other applications that are running on your PC, including applications in the system tray.
2) Make sure that DirectX 8.1 or higher is installed on your system. DirectX 9.0b is included on the disk. To install DirectX9.0b, browse the contents of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos CD using the Windows Explorer, double-click “dxsetup.exe” in “DirectX9” folder, and follow the on-screen instructions.
3) Make sure to update your graphics card drivers to the latest drivers available.
