Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE
F
I've just gotten the Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE and was wondering something. Could somebody please tell me what folder it downloads the games to exactly?
M
To be perfectly honest, I'd say the "games" folder if your using vista/windows 7 but that is a guess.Try typing in the game name after you downloaded it and you'd be taken to where it's exactly stored.Sorry if I lack info, I don't download from them but it's a logical deduction (prehaps wait for more responses)

At least you were sweet enough to TRY to help! ;v) Thanx! ;v)I just looked and it's not there.

what's the name of the game?
I always use the search function, it's only let me down once (because the file was...given a name unrelated to the actual program name).

I've already sent my puppy to go fetch it and he couldn't find it. But to answer your question it's Tinker! ;v) He's just the cutest little bot! ;v)

Right you need to download to 2 locations.
C:\Program Files
C:\Users\(YOUR USERNAME)/Games If the games folder aint there create it.
F
OMG I found it! ;v)
They hid it away in C:\Documents and Settings\******\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\GFWLive\Downloads\Content. It's one of the hidden files in our personally named folder. And if you're wondering what those astericks are that's my real name. See I got to thinking. MAYBE I can't find it because it IS hidden! So I fixed that in my folder options and BAM, there it was! ;v)
Thanx, guys! ;v)

Well its good that you found it but it made you sound like you where asking where to SAVE it to!
F
LOL
No, silly! ;v) I was meaning where does that downloader save it to! ;v)
LOL
And you boys call us girls silly! ;v)

With a normal download, you can choose where it goes...
But if it's a special then it should say where it's going, or give you some control.
Well glad you found it all the same :)

I have Windows 7, sounds like you have XP. When I had XP, windows live games went in the games folder or programfiles folder. Now, in Windows 7, it is exactly the same.
F
Yes I'm still using XP. I still think it's nice and besides, Windows 7 won't install on my computer for some stupid silly reason! Makes me so mad!

You can't do an upgrade. You need to back up all your data and do a clean install. You can use Windows Easy Transfer to move your whole user folder and more into a Portable Hard drive, and then install it.You need 1Ghz of processor speed and 512MB of RAM. I think.
