Post by: Believil on February 24, 2005, 12:34:37 PM: I can't find the requiremants for the game.
I downloaded it from share provider
it just tells me about what the game is like to play
then it says - 1. Unrar
2. Burn or Mount the image with deamon tools
3. Install the game
4. Copy over cracked executable located in the/crack directory on cd1
5. Play the game

and i dont know what all this means or what to do?

You've been told what to do by the providers of the download. What stage are you stuck on?

1) Turn off your computer.
2) Go watch some t.v.

Post by: Joleen on February 25, 2005, 01:25:55 PM: Now now Corrosive. If people don't branch out and download illegal software (for testing purposes only of course) then we'll never see them in the viruses section asking how to remove Kazaa. It brightens my day so to see "I've downloaded a game and now my computer doesn't work".

Post by: Corrosive on February 28, 2005, 12:02:14 PM: Good point Joleen. But do remember that by downloading it he may be damaging the chances of me getting a career in the future (I want to be a games programmer) and is currently damaging my current industry...

Which reminds me, it's time for me to plug... THE SETTLERS: HERITAGE OF KINGS - ONLY £24.99!!!
