Click "Done" to close this text window. With Heirs to the Throne highlighted on the demos listbox, click "Install." IE will then install the complete commercial version of Heirs to the Throne for you. Following installation, exit IE.
Before attempting to play Heirs to the Throne, you must print the manual in order to get past the copy protection. Start Windows Write and load the file MANUAL.WRI, located in the MANUAL directory of your CD. Print the manual, then close Write, then close Windows.
Change to the directory where you installed Heirs to the Throne (the default directory is C:\IE\HEIR). Type PSMCFG and hit <ENTER> to set up sound. Once that's done, type SETUP to set up graphics. Finally, type START and hit <ENTER>. Refer to your printed copy of the manual when you get to the copy protection.
ABOUT HEIRS TO THE THRONE
Heirs to the Throne is a Risk-like boardgame of management and conquest. In a kingdom suddenly without a king, you must conquer the neutral ("Royalist") provinces, as well as those of up to three other players. Starting with one province, you must build up your forces and gold to the point where you can conquer your opponents. For more information about Heirs to the Throne, see the tutorial in this episode of IE.
IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES WITH HEIRS TO THE THRONE
Some machines experience difficulties with sound. If Heirs to the Throne will not run and you get a sound error, type:
CD \ <ENTER>
SET BLASTER= <ENTER>
Then change back to the directory where you installed Heirs to the Throne and type START to play the game. Once you have finished playing Heirs to the Throne, reboot your machine to restore your sound card settings for your other programs.
If you continue to experience problems getting the game to run, check your CONFIG.SYS file. (You may wish to make a copy of this file to make it easier to restore your original settings later.) Near the top of the file should be a line which installs EMM386 (an expanded memory manager). If the line has the word NOEMS, delete it and replace it with the word RAM. If neither word appears in the line, add RAM just after EMM386.EXE. Ultimately, the line should resemble this:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM {rest of line}
There may be other parameters in the line, such as "HIGHSCAN." These are okay; you must only make sure that RAM is in the line and NOEMS is not.
