D/L Mods and Scenario's

[GrudgeBringer]

I have windows xp.....I'm not (sigh) exactly what a browser is but i have MSN AND windows explorer (is there a way to find out as It never has been an issue before)

I D/L a scenario to desktop and try and open it and it says windows can't open it.

Guess I need to put it somewhere (like the trn file maybe?) but don't know where.

If any of this makes sense and you think you can walk this dummy thru it I would appreciate it....

Thanks guys!!!

Pardon me if Im reading the info wrong, but just to cover some basic territory...

Does it say that it doesnt know how to handle a zip file?
Does it unpack the files to your desktop?

The mods go in the dominions3/mods directory and the maps go in the dominions3/maps directory. Unzipping them on the desktop rarely puts them in the right place.

It sound like you just unzipped them to the desktop.

Move the files to the dominions3/maps folder. If maps doesn't exist, create it under dominions3.

A browser is a program you use to navigate the Internet and view Web pages like this one. In your case, that would be Internet Explorer. In IE (and many other programs), you can open the Help menu and select About, and it will tell you which version you are running.
