copying

Iwould like to know if i can copy a program ( such as the pin ball game in the accesories ,games programs) onto a disk from another computer so i can putit on my computer..cheers..

 

Usually this doesn't work. Files that run the program are scattered throughout the computer. Better to just find a download site, or a get a install disk.

 

Yes you can.
But I do not know if the Pinball game will fit on a Floppy disk.
On the PC that you want to copy it from, find the .exe file for the
game in Windows Explorer (Not Internet Explorer).
What is the size of it ?
If less than 1.4 mega, insert an empty, formatted Floppy to the
drive and drag the file (left click it and keep the left button down) to the floppy drive to make a copy of it on the floppy.
On your PC, load up Windows Explorer again, insert the floppy, click the drive and drag the file to where you want it.
regards

 

Aleekat,
Are you sure that there is more to Pinball than the .exe ?
I have have no idea as I do not have it on my PC,

I don't have pinball either. But, from experience. Normally, setups put other files in different locations, ie windows/systems, etc. I have tried this early in my computer experience and usually the program does not run properly.

 

no luck

g'day yeah i tried to do it by dragging it to the floppy drive but it didn't work it just gave me ashort cut to it .so idid a seach to find the origanal file and did a copy of that and pasted it on to the floppy but that didn't work either it said it was missing a wavemix.inf so found that and did the same ' but reading the file it said that it may have problems running . ifigured because it was a different windows operating system . mine 98 the oter one 2000 pro. anyway not worth the all the mind stress but learned abit more and had a beer thanks anyway and cheers!

 

Davee,
If you have a friend with a Win95 install CD, borrow it and try to install pinball from Control Panel/Add Remove/Windows

Pinball can be done:

Most of these things however can be found and downloaded from the net which is much less stressful. If you know the name of the game, use the search engine of your choice.

Alcohol, however, is not included. BYOB .

 

got it

yeah thanks goddez found it downloaded it too eeeasy.
cheers..
