Menu/All Programs/EA Sports/FIFA 06 Demo/Uninstall FIFA 06 Demo").
Windows also has an "Add/Remove Programs" Icon in the Control Panel
that you can use to uninstall the game.

5. Memory Requirements
============================================================
a.) Memory requirements in Windows
FIFA 06 Demo requires a minimum of 256 MB of RAM to run the game (512
MB is recommended).
Note: The more system memory available, the better the game will perform in all areas.
b.) Running the game under stressful Windows conditions
3
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 FIFA 06 Demo
multi-tasks with all Windows applications, we recommend that you shut
down other applications (including virus scanners) and run FIFA 06
Demo by itself when possible.
c.) Virtual memory
We recommend that you let your operating system automatically manage
the amount of virtual memory.

6. Hot Keys
============================================================
The following hot keys can be used in the game to access certain functions more quickly:
F2=Tele camera
F3=Action camera
F4=Broadcast camera
F5=End to End camera
F6=Sideline camera
F7=Dynamic camera
F8=Widescreen camera
F9=Radar Toggle
ESC - Pause Menu
============================================================
7. Mouse, Keyboard and Controller Functionality
============================================================
You can use the mouse, keyboard or controller to navigate the game interface.
Once you are on the Side select screen, you must move whichever input
device you plan to use in the game to the left or the right to select
your team.
Please note that you may have to recalibrate your controllers in Windows in order to have the game detect them correctly.
To bring up the in-game pause menus, you can press the Start button
(if your gamepad has one) or press ESC.
You can re-map your controls to customise your game experience from
the Controls screen before entering gameplay. Please note that when
using digital only gamepads you should not change the ‘Move Player’
setting to ‘Analog’ as this could cause undesirable effects in gameplay.
The use of a 360º-degree dual analog gamepad such as the Logitech Dual
Action is highly recommended for full functionality.
