Hiya, I have downoaded a zip file for a game I want to play. I have used bitzipper to extract files to my documnets but how do I play the game? When I click on it it just opens all the files in different folders! Please help :( Thanks, Amanda.

Hiya, I'm interested in downloading adventure games on the PC but don't know where to start! Any good sites you know of please? I quite like creepy adventure games or funny ones but haven't played in about 15 years when Monkey Island was about! Haha. Any suggestions welcome, Thanks, Amanda.

That's great advice, thanks very much for all your help.

Also, one last question, ny reason I can only set up a network connection through dial up and not broadband even though i'm on broadband!?

Hiya, So do you think that might be the problem then? I can't have a higher speed as my phone line is on an extension and can't handle the higher speeds. This problem has come about the past 9 months though and never had it before that. I've been on the same speed with same equipment. Could I just buy a new modem? Thanks for all the advice :)

Hiya, I have Thomson speedtouch 330 http://www.hotukdeals.com/images/deals/245385.jpg I can't see a socket that looks liek that although there is a very small one which plugs in to the adsl filter. Thanks

Hiya, I have a speedtouch cable modem that just plugs in to my computer. I'm not sure about an ethernet cable and network card, sorry I don't know what they are! I've had this modem about 4 years so it's quite old. I'm not wireless. Sorry I'm a bit vague but I'm PC literate! One error message did say something about an ethernet card at one point but it was only the once and I don't know waht an ethernet card is :( Thanks, Amanda.

Hi, I did post this problem on here months ago but we couldn't come to any conclusion to my problem so thought I would explain it to see if anyone else can shed any light on the matter. First of all, I have Virgin broadband connection but can only set up a network connection by using the dial up option on the network wizard...but then b/band connects as it says 1.8mbps in the bottom right hand corner. I cannot use the network wizard to set it up on b/band though, strange huh? Also, every now and again, varying from once a day to 20 times a day, my internet connection stays but I am unable to browse and sites with any web broswer (firefox or IE). The message just comes up "make sure you have typed the correct web adress". This is more likely to happen when I have been idle but not always. Any ideas on what the problem may be? I have done a thourough clean of my compouter following the instructions from here. I use Avira and Sunbelt. Thanks, Bubs

Well this is bizarre....the updates have disappeared now! Hopefully the problem is solved! Thanks for all your help x

Hiya, I'm not having much luck here. I used the clean up tool and followed your instructionss etc and reinstalled from the link provided, but it will now start to download and then says interent explorer has encounted an eroor and has to close! I tried using the clean up tool once again and rebooting etc and trying to reinstall again but the same thing happed. Any ideas? I appreicate your help, Thanks

It goes right through to the end and says "set up error" When it says how much is going to download it says 0 too which is odd!? Do I need to uninstall anything first?

It didn't work :( When I tried to install it, it came up with set up error!. I'm running out of ideas :(

That's great I'll try that and let you know what happens, Thanks very much :)

Its the only one showing at the moment that I need to update so yes at the moment. I don't have any others to update as yet, only noticed it with this one, any clues? thanks

can anyone help me :( ?

It took me to the updates page and said to install the following: Microsoft Windows Updatebutton {padding: 0px 14px 1px 14px;width: 80px;height: 21px;overflow: visible;line-height: 15px;cursor: default;} a:hover { text-decoration: underline } a { text-decoration: none } Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 and .NET Framework 3.5 Family Update for .NET versions 2.0 through 3.5 (KB951847) x86 Download size: 0 KB , 0 minutes (Downloaded; ready to install) http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/shared/images/info_16x.gif Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is a full cumulative update that contains many new features building incrementally upon .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, and includes cumulative servicing updates to the .NET Framework 2.0 and .NET Framework 3.0 subcomponents.

I feel like i'm going to throw my PC out of the window soon, haha!

I'm using Firefox but can use internet explorer 8, i'll do that. Thanks.

I'm really sorry but I just got this page Microsoft Windows Update I keep getting this page when I try to download things from links. Ive been trying for hours to sort it out, haha. Appreciate it if you could tell me where to go from here? Thanks

I have actually just finished looking at that before I posted on here. I tried method 1 but it didn't work. I tried to download the update agent but couldn't find the download or how to do it! I think service pack 3 was recently installed. I have 11gb of free space of my PC so I think from what I've read that should be enough. Should I uninstall service pack 3? I don't really understand much about PC's I'm afraid. Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your quick reply. No I haven't done either...should I take a look at that link anyway? Thanks.

Hiya, I'm not sure if this is in the right place as I'm not very computer literate! I have service pack 3 on my PC (windows XP) and I cannot install the automatic updates. The yellow icon appears at the bottom right hand screen and it trys to install but fails. Also every time my PC shuts down it says it will install updates but doesn't. Any ideas? Thanks :)

thank you, i'll try that. amanda.

Hi again, Now my sunbelt firewall icon has gone from the bottom right corner but in the windows security centre it says its on! Please help :( Amanda

Hi, No I didn't have AVG installed when I tried to uninstall MSN, and i only installed AVG after unistalling Avira as Avira stopped working :( Whats going on!? thanks, amanda

Hi, My avira anti virus wont let me have the guard protect on... and my msn will not un install. I have had to put AVG back on and have sunbelt firewall. I'm running on windows XP home ed. Have I got yet another virus? Amanda.
