"Uninstall UEFA EURO 2004 Demo" shortcut in the Start Menu (usually "Start
Menu/All Programs/EA Sports/UEFA EURO 2004 Demo/Uninstall UEFA EURO 2004
Demo").
Windows also has an "Add/Remove Programs" Icon in the Control Panel that you
can use to uninstall the game.

=============================================================
a.) Memory requirements in Windows
UEFA EURO 2004 DEMO requires a minimum of 128 MB of RAM to run the game (256 Mb
is required for Windows XP and Windows 2000).
Note: The more system memory available, the better the game will perform in all
areas.
b.) Running the game under stressful Windows conditions
At Electronic Arts we strive to bring you the best in graphics, audio and
gameplay. We are always pushing the envelope of computer performance. While we
have made every effort to ensure that UEFA EURO 2004 DEMO multi-tasks with all
Windows applications, we recommend that you shut down other applications
(including virus scanners) and run UEFA EURO 2004 DEMO by itself when
possible.
c.) Virtual memory
We recommend that you let your operating system automatically manage the amount
of virtual memory.

You can use the mouse, keyboard or controller to navigate the game interface.

Please note that you may have to recalibrate your controllers in Windows in
order to have the game detect them correctly.
We highly recommend the use of a 360º analog gamepad such as the Logitech(R)
Dual Action(TM)

gamepad has one) or press ESC.
