2. Open 'Toonstruck.English.CD1.iso' with IsoBuster, right-click the small red ISO box and click 'Extract -' and when asked for a location, just select the Desktop. This should extract all the files in the image to a folder on the Desktop (named '-').
3. Open 'Toonstruck.English.CD2.iso' and again, right-click the small red ISO box and click 'Extract -' and select the Desktop. A window will open to say 'File already exists'. Tick 'Yes to All' and click 'Yes. The files you overwrite are exactly the same on both images, so there is no need to worry. Once extracted, you will have the content of both CDs in one folder.
4. Rename the folder 'Toonstruck' and move it to 'C:' (where Program Files and Windows is located).
5. Install DOSBox 0.72 if it is not already installed on your computer.
