===For Windows:===

SleepyHead 1.0.0-beta-2 runs on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. Download the Windows install file, run it and follow the instructions. ''Depending on your security settings, you may be required to enter Administrator credentials.''<br>The install program will put a SleepyHead (sheep) icon on the Start Menu. If you want a short cut installed on the desktop or task bar, create those short cuts the same way you do for any other Windows program.

The installer places both the ''OpenGL'' and ''BrokenGL'' versions in Program Files and lists them in the Start Menu. ''These versions will be explained below.'' <br>Before placing any shortcuts on your desktop it is best to launch ''OpenGL'', which is the preferred version. If it works for you, then create a shortcut for ''OpenGL'' on your Desktop or Taskbar (or both). Otherwise launch the ''BrokenGL'' version from the Windows Start Menu and verify that it works before placing shortcuts where you like.

<b>Note:</b> JediMark has had some trouble keeping his security certificate up to date, and Kaspersky AntiVirus sometimes flags the SleepyHead installer as malware. It is not malware and it is safe to install. You may need to temporarily quit your antivirus software long enough for the SleepyHead installer to work. Once SleepyHead is installed, remember to turn your antivirus software back on.

====Program Location and Broken-GL in Windows====

Sleepyhead installs by default into Windows in the C:\Program Files(x86)\Sleepyhead. At the bottom of the list of folders and files are two EXE files. :

* Sleepyhead.exe

* Sleepyhead-BrokenGL.exe

Most users can run Sleepyhead from the Sleepyhead.exe installed on the Desk Top. If you need to create a shortcut: Find the file, right-click, and send-to desktop (create shortcut) Some computers do not have a dedicated video card that meets the Open-GL video Graphics standards. If you have problems with displaying Sleepyhead, or it does not run when clicking on the Sleepyhead.exe link, use the Sleepyhead-BrokenGL.exe. This will solve version solves most installation problems.
