    Question

    Ok, to get my mind off things for a while, can someone please tell me how to properly run this? Ehr, I've been fighting with my computer again. I have it downloaded, but don't know how to run/open/"unzip" it. I need to get Quicktime, right?

    Wink

    Haya, gnahrf! Thanks, I didn't know what program was required. But since I've already got Flash, now I have no idea what is wrong with the download. I mean, it has downloaded, but I can't extract the program when I double click on it and I was guessing it was because I didn't have the right prog. Oh, boy, I'm stuck again! Back to sparring with the monitor...

    You need Winzip to extract the program.
    http://www.winzip.com/

    Then double click the program that is extracted. It should load up into a window.

    Smile

    *Computer rookie back for another report*:

    Thank you for the info, BAMFCentral! A question, though: is the download free? I went there and just got lost amongst all the technical lingo. Also, what about PkUnzip?...Ach! Marvel should've put up more detailed instructions or something, asides from the comp being slow and stubborn... biggrin

    Winzip is free and is all you need to unzip the files. Simply run the program it is free. But you will need an active internet connection to register the program, basically starting the program the first time you run it. And you will need an active internet connection to download the other Dot Comics.

    Cool

    Or even easier, press enter when the file is selected or double click on it. This will open up the Flash Player (which you very probably have installed if you can view Flash on the Internet).

    But I must ask, do you really like the DotComics? I hate the commercials and the way the panels come up one at a time... It takes a lot of time and also is quite disturbing.

    I like that it's free. I don't feel that it takes much time but maybe it just depends on your computer. This one is fast, I think. How do you judge that sort of thing?

    The idea of someone having less patience than me is scary, so it must be the computer. wink

    p. s. Is this the only topic we will be adding stuff to today? That seems kind a monotone, don't you think?
