my son got a pc game over the net for grand-son can it be put on my pc for him to
play , harry

He could try zipping the entire game as an attachment and send it through his email, except the transfer would take forever(depending upon the size of the game)
The better idea is just ship the CD/DVD of the game by snail mail to him. ;)
-
Aye or you can upload it to rapidshare and give the link to the grandson. but sending it through the email will be very hard, because Gmail or Yahoo will only support up to 200 MB attachments.
A much better way will be snail mail

Rapidshare, and other programs like it are vulnerable to viruses and such, the files are not really protected.
So Snail Mail is the best idea for this situation.

or if your grandson can come pick it up, that would be even faster than snail mail and maybe a bit safer. In snail mail, there might be the risk of the CD/DVD getting damaged during the mailing process which happened to me once

there is no cd/dvd it was sent over the net

So your son downloaded a game off the internet and is attempting to now give it to his kid? If your son can burn the downloaded files to a recordable dvd or cd (depending on file(s) sizes) and either mail it, give it to his kid or have him pick it up then that solves the problem.
That's what is meant by CD/DVD, mentioned earlier.....
-
or- you know, e-mail it...
-
you missunderstand , he bought a game from msn or yahoo , if he tries to copy it will there be a
code to stop him doing that
-
well, normally you get the license code. as long as it's only on one PC it should cause any validation issues.
-
ok thats what i wanted to know thank you
-
probably send the code with the game in a email.
-
You said that he got the game over the net, did he get it from steam? If so, he can download this from his house over steam. If not, it may still be possible.
-
he got it form big fish games i dont know what you mean by stream , harry

Here is bigfish game website faq saying you can get backup cd of games you have purchase. In that case, you can have big fish send your son or grandson a cd of the game (I don't know if they send elsewhere than what you registered with)
