RUNNING QUAKE

------------------------------------

   TO RUN Quake 2 YOU'LL HAVE TO CLICK ON THE "START" BUTTON ON YOUR TASKBAR, THEN 

   CHOOSE THE "Programs" ITEM, THEN CHOOSE THE "Quake II Demo" ITEM. From there 

   you must select the "Quake II Demo" item, which launches the game.



   Here is a text depiction of the menu selections you need to make to run the game from 

   the Start menu:



        Start > Programs > Quake II Demo > Quake II Demo



   And here is a link to a screenshot that actually shows this menu on my computer:

NOTE: Depending on how long the list of items is in your Programs menu you may have

           to scroll down to see the "Quake II Demo" item. In this case, simply move your 

           mouse to the very bottom of the menu and it should automatically scroll for you.
