I was on renai's site trying to download a game to play it. It's saved onto my computer, I've tried opening..and it opens folders and information on the composition of the game, but I have yet to figure out how to play it.

Will someone please give me the walk through steps to playing?

By playing I mean to be able to start it up to play, not cheats or anything.

Which game did you download? The steps may be different depending...

And - what did you to to 'open' it?

Also, what operating system are you using, and what folders and information does it open when you open it?

It was this one talking about Trolls it starts with an N, and I have no idea how to spell it. I have Windows Vista (sucky I know.)

I'm not quite sure which section Trolls was in but I saw it had good reviews so I decided to play it and it won't let me!

I opened it by first saving it to my computer, then pulling it up from my folders, clicking on it, it had open, or open folder. I clicked open...it took me to more folders of the game, so I tried open folders, same thing.

My guess : it was distributed as a ZIP and Guest opened the ZIP.

If so, what you see are indeed the files for the game. You should extract these in a directory on your computer, and then look for the main game file (.exe), most probably one with an illustrative icon.
