ok, lets do a blind-leading-blind, others can follow this lemmings migration into a black hole ... ipmcf shareholders should feel right at home << went to the url and downloaded the program >> program = a collection of files contained in one file with a .zip extension << where does it download to >> go to top of each of your hard disk most have only one called C floppies and cd's and RAM and Zip Drives can also be present but most likely the place your AOL or internet go-er-to lives is the one to look for the game for example, at DOS or in a DOS Window thru Windows, do: > C: > cd > dir/s wast.zip hopefully you get a hit if not say so and we will regroup but if yes, then unzip this file will make a directory at same location contining the program and needed files to setup and run ok = yes in Windows click of FILE icon do a browse to this directory highlight the setup.exe file Enter ket press (same as doing a RUN command) follow instruction report back with progress on this ipmcf thread doug << how do I play it? >>

Little secret for y'all. When clicking the download button, also be holding down the shift key. This will let you choose the directory to download to. Also it is wise to note the name of the file you are downloading. You can then use the "Find" tool to locate the downloaded file. Another trick is to start downloading the file again and note where your computer wants to put it. Cancel the download and go to the directory where Windows was going to put it. Chances are the previously downloaded files are there. Happy hunting.

Computer Learning Wildcat, once you do one, then all the rest become easy. No science or math here, to use computers at this level, only a lot of "its done this way because thats the way it was designed". Lots of the design was done by computer programmers well versed in cryptic symbols and thinking needed to write programs a machine can understand. To them its simple and easy because they made this stuff, but for others it can be a daunting task. Imagine if a computer builder helped Mr. Ford build the first automobile in the early 1900's. No one would be able to figure out how to drive it without having a full time helper saying do this and that .... Lets hear from Chuca, since if Chuca can do it, then anyone ..... So Wildcat, when you come up to speed with the downloading and unziping and install or setup clicking, then time to open up too many opportunities. if ok, register with zdnet.com no money or other committed no junk mail to receive you control their access to you except for the commerical appearing on you screen like SI and for example free free free freeware no money ever never the best so far this year zdnet.com next, the best so far this year, screen savers zdnet.com Doug
