Before you follow these instructions, you may wish to print this page so you can easily refer back to it.

  1. First you must download the program:

    1. There is usually a link that says something like "Click here to download this program." Click on it.

    2. When you click on it, a Save As window will appear. It will probably resemble the one below.


    3. Put a blank floppy disk in the A: drive of your computer.

    4. Type like this pattern: a:progname.exe
      where progname is a name for the program.
      In the example below, the program name is TTdemo95.


    5. Click on the Save button.

    6. Netscape Navigator should now download the program and save it to the floppy. Netscape Navigator should show status information so you will know how fast the download is progressing and when the download is finished.

  2. Once the program is downloaded, you can run it:
    1. Click on the Start button of your system taskbar.


    2. In the menu that appears, click on Run.


    3. Type the same text as you typed in the white box before (in step 1D above.) (example: a:TTdemo95.exe)


    4. Press your keyboard's Enter key.

    5. If you downloaded the TileTag Demo Version (TTdemo95.exe), the TileTag Demo Version Install Program will run, installing TileTag Demo Version on your computer.

    6. Once you have installed the TileTag Demo Version, you can read the TileTag Demo Version play instructions and run TileTag Demo Version from the "TileTag FREE DEMO" menu. To get to the TileTag FREE DEMO menu, click on the "Start" button on your system taskbar, which is usually at the bottom of your screen. This will make a system menu appear. In that menu click on "Programs." In the Programs menu that appears click on "TileTag FREE DEMO."
      In the TileTag FREE DEMO menu that appears you can click on "Instructions for Demo" to read how to play TileTag, and on "TileTag FREE DEMO" to play TileTag Demo Version.
      (When you view the instructions you might want to print them.)

  3. If you will want to run the same program again (for example, to install TileTag Demo Version on other computers), you may want to write the program name on the disk's label the next time you take the floppy disk out of your computer. Then to run the program again later, just put the floppy in the a: drive and follow the running instructions in part 2. above.

If a program is too big to fit on a floppy disk, change the instructions above by substituting the name of some temporary directory for a: in the text that you type. On many computers c:\windows\temp\ will work. (example: c:\windows\temp\TTdemo95.exe) However most programs downloaded from the Web will fit on one floppy disk.
