<h1>Autoplay Screen Does not Appear</h1>

<p>When the Autoplay screen does not appear, it is usually due to processes 
 running in the background that conflict with the game. </p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>First, make sure the game disk is in the drive. If you have a DVD edition 
 disk, please make sure you are using a DVD-ROM drive and that all of your 
 background tasks have been shut down.</p>

<p>Once your background tasks have been ended you can start the installation 
 manually. To manually start the installation process:</p>
