You should always use the same disc drive (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM) that you used to install the game when you play the game. If you experience problems installing or playing a game, contact the game manufacturer for assistance, or visit their Web site for updates.

Your new Internet PC is not only a powerful tool for surfing the Internet and running software, it can also allow you to play games. Your computer came with several Windows games preinstalled, and many more are available for purchase or by downloading from the Internet. You can play games online with other players from all over the world.

Before purchasing a game, check the computer requirements (listed on the outside of the game box) to make sure that your computer is configured correctly for the game you want to buy.
