1) Install Java, and then click the play button. (forum post with the latest Java links: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=40331)

If Java is already installed,

2) Open autohaven.jnlp with javaws.exe. It is where you installed Java at in the /bin/ folder. the .jnlp files should have been associated with javaws.exe when Java was installed, but I understand there are instances where this doesn't happen properly.

From here, the game will download and set up on your computer. It can take a few minutes to 15-20+ depending on the speed of your computer and your network connection.

We need to know what it is and isn't doing before we can be of any assistance. If you are getting an error, please post it. If your computer is doing seemingly nothing, we need to know what prompts you're getting, files downloaded, and other information of what is happening after you clicked play.

Make sure that Java installed correctly. Make sure Java is configured to run with your web browser. Open the Java settings (Windows: Control Panel>Java.) Under the Security tab>check "Enable Java content for browser and Web Start applications."

And as the person above found, make sure the file downloaded is "autohaven.jnlp". If it didn't save the extension, rename the file with the ".jnlp."
