Every time I download a game program it comes up with an error. Is this just me or is it generally not possible for these files to work?

Need to be careful downlding such type of files from the network. Many are incomplete or have virus, etc. I could only suggest keep trying others until you find one that does work.

ok, thanks for that.

Use Bitzi as well. Allthough I have encountered files of that kind on there with good rating, which still don't work.

You should really put some thought into using torrents for that stuff. Limewire is NOT number 1 for downloading programmes and games. You might find your self in a real jam if you try to open the wrong file. It will make your computer FUBAR

What exactly is bitzi?

I'm new to all this by the way.

Right-click on searchresult. Choose advanced>lookup file with Bitzi

If you are new to this, then you definitely shouldn't be trying to download games.

Also have a read through some of the Sticky's in the different forums here. They will give you a bit of insight on what to do and what not to do
