Question

I have downloaded a winrar programme to open it but cant work out how to get the game up and running, any ideas

Answer 1

You need to double click on the Icon that has just downloaded you will see like a bunch of stacked up books as the icon, similarly to the ones on A winzip or compressed folder file from windows, once double clicked you will see more than one file in the folder for winrar highlight everything that is in the folder right click, extract and make a choice where you want to put the extracted files, (reccommendable to the desktop) and once extracted dobule click the game file to open and install, and once installed, you are good to go.

Answer 2

Once winrar is installed, right click the downloaded file and choose the 'Extract here' option. Make sure you do a virus check on it before running it.

Answer 3

With WinRar. Its like a zip file.. the stuff you want is inside the zip (or the .rar)

Install winrar here (free download):

Uninstall if you don't like the program after unzipping your rar.

Answer 4

You Need to DL WinRAR or similar archiving prog. but if you really are illegally downloading game and such you shouldn't go telling everyone on the net about it.

Answer 5
