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.

Subject: [Audyssey] I'm gonna get me a game today!
Hi all,
I have never downloaded a game before. So, I am going to download a free
game today. What do I need to know before I do it? I have a pc which has
Windows XP Professional and Window Eyes installed. Please don't assume
that
I know anything about downloading games. We all know what happens when we
assume, don't we. Smile. I am thinking about downloading the game,
Christmas
Whoopass, because it is different than anything I have ever played and it
sounds like mindless fast action and a lot of fun. Thanks in advance for
your help.
Paulette
