Post by: Sage on August 05, 2010, 04:12:34 PM: Which link are you clicking? And didn't I tell you to just download it from my signature?

No, Internet Explorer is stupid.

Post by: EchoKnight on August 05, 2010, 04:28:17 PM: nevermind about the signature thing, i just tried it, and the same thing happens with both links

Post by: Somebody on August 05, 2010, 04:28:37 PM: Firefox works fine. What happens when you click the icon? What should happen is that a little window will pop up and say "Do you wish to download this file" or something like that. Click Save or Open or whatever you need to (I click save normally). Then it will save it and you can put it in you r game or wherever it needs to be.

Does the file work as normal?

Post by: Sage on August 06, 2010, 01:05:39 PM: I thought my DSL download was NOOBPROOF. I guess I was wrong. Some people don't even know how to download and play?

Echo. STEP BY STEP that I shouldn't even have to mention:

1. Right under my post there's a link called "Download DSL 2.1 (Ready to go). Click it.
2. When the box pops up, hit "Save" and put it on your DESKTOP.
3. Download WinRAR (http://www.liutilities.com/products/campaigns/vendors/rarlab/home/ (http://www.liutilities.com/products/campaigns/vendors/rarlab/home/))
4. Open up the DSL 2.1.rar. Drag the folder from inside of it TO THE DESKTOP.
5. Open up the folder, and click Robot Arena 2.exe.

If it doesn't, you might want to consider some basic computer courses.

Post by: Somebody on August 06, 2010, 03:46:45 PM: The WinRAR free trial never expires. Its supposed to work for 60 days and I have been using it for 2 years. Just whenever I click on a certain thing it tells me to uninstall it but I don't ever need to click on that thing XD
