Your new Internet PC is not only a powerful tool for surfing the Internet and running software, it also allows you to play games.

Did you know ...

You should always use the same disc drive (CD-ROM or DVD-ROM) that you used to install a 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 computer can also play digital audio files, such as music downloaded from the Internet. You can download MP3 files and play them using the Windows Media Player software.

Playing Games
