How to Install "StarCraft" in XP

Computer games are often PC compatible versions on gaming console games.

Starcraft is a strategy-based PC game that can be installed on Windows XP. The game itself comes on a CD. The entire contents of the game and information needed to execute the game is on this CD. This also includes a walk-through on the installation process. Because of this, almost anybody can install Starcraft on a computer containing XP with ease. It only takes a few minutes. Installation of this gaming software is like that of any software.

Instructions

1. Insert the Starcraft into the disk drive of the computer. Open the drive by pressing the button near it. Place the disc on the disc tray. Press the button again or gently push the tray toward the computer to close the disc tray.

2. Click "Start" then "My Computer" and then the Starcraft filename. The file name should appear as "Starcraft setup" or something similar. You do not need to do this step if the CD automatically loads and runs on the computer.

3. Follow the on-screen instruction for the installation process. You will be asked to register the game by entering your name and other personal information. You will also be prompted to enter the game key code. This is a series of letters and numbers assigned specifically to your game. They can be found on the key code card located within the box.

4. Run the game by clicking the icon or filename associated with the game.
