Hi,

First, thank you for your very quick response.

I downloaded from a company called 'classic gaming presents'. Windows is not asking for a specific programme, it just asks me 'open with what?' and I don't think I have the relevant software loaded on my pc to open game.

Any ideas pls

Many thanks

Vicki

Hi,

Does the file you are trying to open look like a white bit of paper with a silver disc on it?

Or does it look like a computer or???

Can you right click on the file, go to properties and let us know the file extension or full filename please - primarily the bit after the dot, i.e. : filename.ISO

Hello again,

programme has downloaded, and when I click on 'Lemmings' icon on desk top it then asks me 'what do you want to open it with?' - that's where I get stuck. As for file name, etc. in properties it has 'type of file : windows installer package'

I await your reply

Many thanks

Hello again,

Also in properties under type of file, it has - Opens with : windows installer. When I have tried this it appears to install, then it does not open, which is why I thought I needed another drive for game.

Thanks

Hi again,

I have downloaded twice. Man from Classic games suggested I needed Winzip installing, so I have downloaded Winzip. I now have Lemmings installed and Winzip. When I try to open with Winzip another screen appears asking for file names!

Do you think I should delete the lot and buy Lemmings on disk and load from disk drive!

Pls advise

Many thanks
