Hi

I'm not sure if anyone will be able to help? I'm not very computer literate when it comes to this!

I want to download a game, but I have no idea what I'm supposed to do once I've downloaded it as it opens up a window with various things in it. I take it I am supposed to extract these things, but I have no idea how!

Please if anyone can help it would be appreciated. Thanks.

ok if when you oipen it there should be like something called SETUP inside of it, if you click on that it should start the installer.

It is The Sims 2. When I open it it has something called Daemon Tool Setup. Is it OK to install this? And if I do will I then be able to open up the game?

Thanks

You DLed an iso, a CD image of the game. You can run it off of Daemon Tools, which creates virtual drives on your pc that you can load these CD images to. However, you will still probably need a CD-Key to install the game.
