Original title: downloaded games on this computer

Whenever I have to download a new game, I get the message "file not found". Games Download fine on my other computer, but I would like to be able to use this computer also because of the convenience of not having moved.

In the meantime, follow the steps below.
 
Method 1:
 
Temporarily disable any security software and then try to install the game, follow the steps mentioned below
 

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
 
Method 2:
 
Turn off the User Account Control (UAC) and then try to install the games.

Access this link to turn off UAC: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

 
Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.
 
Method 3:
 
Put your machine in a clean boot State and try to install the game and check what is happening.
 
Response with status.
