Hi Dark, Thanks for your downloading information. But I have another question. Do I turn off the screen reader to play a talking game? Thanks.

Hi Paulette. With most games on windows, the process is very easy, and Christmas whoopass is no exception. Just hit the download link (you can use the one on audiogames.net or use the developers' own site, audiogames.net just gives it for convenience), then you will be asked if you want to download the file, and whether you want to run or save it. Generally, you will want to save it, because that file contains the program for the game, so hit save. I personally have a downloads folder where I save anything I download to, but you can save it whereever you wish. then you'll have to wait while it downloads. This won't take long, though can vary according to what type of internet connection you have and how large the file is, but mostly shouldn't take long. when it is downloaded, if it's an .exe file, ie a program that is ready to just install (like christmass whoopass is), just go and find it with windows explorer and hit enter on it. An install program will pop up which will put the game onto your computer. It'll ask you what folder to install the game in (it'll choose C:\program files by default), and where to put shortcuts to start the game, but mostly you can just go through hitting the next button. Once all this is done, you'll find the shortcuts for running the game usually straight in your programs menue, and can read the instructions or run the game straight off. Thsi is also the way you run and install any program from the internet that could be useful to you, so it's good knolidge to have. Of course some games are not install .exe files, adn may come in a zip folder instead, those aren't hard to deal with either though, however I won't clutter this message up with an explanation of that as well when your just trying to get used to downloading and installing straight off, should you come across a game which is a zip, let us know and myself, or someone else can explain how to deal with this (which isn't really a harder process, just a different one). Hope you enjoy christmas woopass, and any other games you fancy trying. All the best, Dark. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paulette Vickery" <[email protected]> To: "'Gamers Discussion list'" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 5:14 PM Subject: [Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today! > Hi all, > > I have never downloaded a game before.
