HarvDog Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Re: Computer Geeks little help please If you remember seeing a prompt to select the location to download the file, simply go back to the link, restart the download, and when that prompt appears again, check where the default location is.

buckee Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Re: Computer Geeks little help please Try clicking on Start..go to "My computer".... then " Main disk (C:)" ...then "Program files"...then "My downloads" see if it's in there. If not, click back until you get to "Program files" and check under "My downloads" which is another folder If you still can't find it, click back button again until you can see "My documents and settings" click on that, and then click on your user name file....then click on "Recent". In that folder will be a comprehensive list of everything you've done or played with on your computer recently. If you see it listed there...right click on it and go to properties, and note where it is stored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Re: Computer Geeks little help please If you want a picture of the screen...Press ctrl/PrtScn at the same time...then go to your popup start menu and open your "Paint" program. In paint, go to "Edit", and select "Paste"....then save as a .jpg file and name it. Remember where it's saved...eh...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
