1. INSTALLATION

System Requirements
Windows ‘95, Windows '98
Pentium 90 MHz or higher
256 color video and monitor
32 mb RAM, 85 MB free hard disk space
16-bit sound card with DirectX 5.0 or greater compatible 
drivers (see (b.) under Special Notes on Installation 
for more info)

Installation:
a.) Insert CD
b.) CD will auto-launch to the setup splash screen.
c.) Click on the "Install Dogz 3" or "Install Catz 3" button.
d.) Click through screens presented by the installer until you 
    have completed the installation process.

If you'd like to learn more about Petz 3 and the Petz product 
line, click on the "Virtual Petz Tour" button on the Setup 
splash screen.

IMPORTANT! Special Notes on Installation:
a.) To run the installer for Dogz 3 or Catz 3 you will need 
    110MB of hard disk space available on the drive where 
    you are installing (usually the C:\ drive). Once 
    installation is complete, Dogz 3 or Catz 3 only uses 
    85MB of hard disk space, or 100 MB if you own both. 
b.) This application requires DirectX 5.0 or higher to run, 
    and will automatically install DirectX drivers. Petz 3 
    will only successfully run when installed on computers 
    with sound cards that are compatible with DirectX drivers. 
c.) Problems With Sound Card (Drivers)
    Petz 3 only supports sounds cards with drivers that are 
    compatible with DirectX. If you are experiencing 
    problems with sound or installation and have an early 
    version of an Aztech, ESS 1887 PnP Crystal CS4232 
    sound card, we recommend that you contact the sound 
    card manufacturer and download the latest drivers.
d.) Remember, if you install both Catz 3 and Dogz 3, your 
    Dogz and Catz can play together!
