How to start the game on your computer

Usually people buy computers for the job: doing the work, creating, communicating. But let's admit that there is something else for which it is worth buying a PC. This is computer games. There are even special gaming computers, a gamer's dream. But games can be not only a means of pleasant pastime. Among them, there are often training programs that allow us to learn something new.

There are also those who develop a response, logical thinking or other useful skills. Therefore it would be wrong to position computer games solely as children's entertainment. But often users do not know how to run the game. Often, problems begin when you install. To avoid such difficulties, you should know something about similar programs.

In the first place we will talk about the games bought in the store, for which the user paid blood money. Agree, it would be unpleasant to buy a disc and encounter such a problem as the inability to launch a game from it. In some cases, this is how it ends. A frustrated person simply puts the toy in a long box - covered with dust. It would not have happened, he knows how to run the game.

Free space on the computer

The installation process itself can take up to an hour, but most often it passes much faster. A few minutes - and you can enjoy the game. But not so simple as it really is. Before you place a disk in the drive, it is recommended to check the available space on the computer. Especially on the local drive where you intend to install the game. Places should be at least a little more than the minimum it requires. Otherwise, there may be problems in its work.

This is especially important for a system local disk (on which your OS is installed). Here we are talking not about the toy itself, but about the functioning of the computer as a whole. Do not fill such a disk to the eyeballs. For entertainment, it's better to choose another, especially since in most computers the available space is split just into two local partitions. If necessary, you can delete unnecessary programs and information to free up the necessary amount of space.

How to start a game purchased in a store

Now you can run the game setup program . Usually it is enough to insert a disk into the drive (the first disk, if there are several), after which the necessary window will open. But not all computers have an autostart function. If this is true for yours, you will have to activate the installation manually. Open the "Start" menu or the desktop icon "My Computer". Here you need to double-click on the drive icon in which the game is located. As a result, either the program we need immediately starts, or the folder with it opens. This means that you need to select from all the icons the one that has the extension ".exe" (usually with the name of the game) and run it.

Then it is enough to follow simple instructions. First, you will need to agree with the license agreement (you can even read it, but we do not need it) by ticking the corresponding item. Be careful. Without this, further installation will be unavailable. Then only "Yes", "Ok" and "Next" will remain, depending on the version of the installation program. Also, in the course of our actions, it will be possible to choose which local disk the game will be installed on. If you do not like the directory specified by the computer, then there is a button "Browse" (the name may differ, but the meaning is one). Clicking on it, you must manually select the desired disk and the destination folder on it. All. Now, by clicking "Next" (by selecting the desired language, additional software and drivers, if offered), we run the installation.

If everything goes by the script, then the question, how to run the game, boils down to a couple of mouse clicks on the game icon. The icon should eventually appear on the desktop. But if you did not find it there - do not be afraid. Then it is worth looking for a toy in the main menu. Most likely, it is at the very end of the list of installed programs.

How to launch the downloaded game

When we do not want to spend money and time on the trip to the store, we download the game via the Internet. We choose support for piracy instead of supporting the developer of the program. To some extent, it's easier, and if your conscience does not torture you, let's move on to the question of how to launch a game that is downloaded on the worldwide network. As in the first case, you must first install. If there is an icon with the extension ".exe" in the folder with the downloaded game, you just need to click on it and continue to act as in the previous version.

But in some cases, instead of the usual icons, you see an image file. Most often they have the extension ".iso", but others are possible. In any case, to run such a file, we need a disk emulation program. It seems to be deceiving the computer, creating a virtual drive, which allegedly contains a disc with the game. The easiest way to understand Daemon Tools Lite. After downloading and installing it, run the emulator. It will have an icon with a disk image, when hovering, "Add file" appears.

We click on it and in the opened menu we look for the folder where the ".iso" file is located. Alternatively, you can simply drag it into the working area of the program, where you can see the image of the drive. Then the installer opens. If this does not happen, then the following actions do not differ from the actions with the usual drive: open My Computer, open the virtual drive with the game, find there the startup file (".exe") and double-click on it.

How to launch flash game

Some prefer small fun games as entertainment. In fact, there is much to relax. But sometimes flash games do not want to run on the computer. What is the reason? The most likely is the lack of Adobe Flash Player installed on the computer (or its outdated version). The solution to this problem is not difficult. To do this, go to the official website of the software developer and download the latest version. After installing it, problems with flash games usually do not arise.
