SYMPTOMS
========

When you insert the Microsoft Golf CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive, Golf Setup may
not start automatically.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur if you are using a 16-bit (real-mode) driver for your
CD-ROM drive.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this issue, run Golf Setup manually. To do this, follow these
steps:

1. Insert the Golf CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Click Start, and then click Run.

3. In the Open box, type the following line, and then click OK

  <drive>:\setup.exe

  where <drive> is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive.

4. Follow the instructions on the screen to install Golf.

MORE INFORMATION
================

We recommend you contact your hardware manufacturer to inquire about how to
obtain a 32-bit (protected-mode) driver for your CD-ROM drive.
