where downloaded games disappear to?

For my birthday, my daughter bought me Microsoft Flight Simulator X, I downloaded the game, went to play but can not find it anywhere. When I looked in the game file, not there, when I looked in the game of Microsoft file, not there. I find it in a folder, but cannot open it. This is the second time I tried, the first I thought that I might have made a mistake, deleted the program and has started around, checked my computer online to see if there was any necessary updates, but every thing seems to be hunky dory! My rating of performance on my computer is '5', I have a lot of space and a decent graphics card.

Question? -How can I download this game, so it leaves an icon on the desktop, so I can open it easily?

Thank you

*. BIN is an image file, in your case most likely a disk image. You will need a program that can burn discs, f.i. ImgBurn (www.imgburn.com) images. Burn the image to a DVD, preferably at low speed (to avoid errors) and start the installation of the game from the DVD (as you do when you buy a game packed in a store). Alternatively, you can also mount the *. BIN on a virtual drive using a program emulator such as Virtual Clone Drive (http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html) disc. Some games don't like it, however, because they expect a real disc in a real player, for the purposes of copyright law.

When you are ready to install the game, please do not use the \Program Files folder (or subfolders) on your \Windows partition as target a location. This file is a protected system and will give you problems UAC when you or the game want to do anything without explicit administrator rights.

  • I've yet to understand where free games can be downloaded into my new Windows 7.

    I've yet to understand where free games can be downloaded into my Windows 7. I have new computer: My Games Explorer is on and I've been on the site to confirm that I can get free Spider solitaire on Microsft - someone please tell me how - because it's not obvious. BTW I did this for 3 minths now - when I have a free moment and it becomes incredibly annoying. Thank you

    Click Start > Control Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows enable > click Games > click OK.

    You are going to install the games for you.

    I hope this helps.

  • I'm unable to download games, programs, etc from the internet.

    I'm unable to download games, programs, etc from the internet.  It started a year ago and I still have the problem.  I click on "Download", the dialog box appears, click "run" dialog box appears indicating the time to download, and then click "Run" and the dialog box disappears without ever finishing.  Anyone know what is happening, why and how resolve it.  Please keep in mind I'm not savvy with the computer language and need answers in the form of simple.  Thank you

    There is no way to accurately diagnose that lasts a year and with so little information. You should start by ensuring that the computer is free of viruses/malware:

    Post back with the results for further assistance.

    If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

This is true for most of the games that are offered.  Is there a risk of these files remains our starting time of downturn?  Or any other hazards that we should be aware of?

    Yes, there is the risk of the remains of leftovers.  There is also the risk of inconsistency resulting from instability,

    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.

    Hi buzzyh51,
     
    a. what operating system is installed on your computer?

    c. other computer also has the same operating system?
     
    d. get you any specific error and the error code?
     
    e. is the relevant issue in a particular game?
    f. What is the size of the file when it is downloaded?
     
    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.
