    The game today, Tank-o-box, instructs me to download, unzip, install and click the tank-o-box.exe to complete. I've looked, looked, looked and used Search for this file name and it's not on my computer. I have a free trial and that's it. Anything else is a 'shortcut' icon. What to do?

    From the Readme.txt file:
    ______________________________________________

    Installation

    Unzip the package you`ve downloaded and run the activation program
    Activate.exe which is included in the package, then run Setup.exe to
    install the software.

    You have to install it before the Giveaway offer for the software is over.

    Hope this help!

    Ok Bill, thanks. But I have no Activation file in the Tank-o-Box folder. I have: Alawar games icon, Readme icon, Uninstall icon, Tank-o-box icon (which I click and it launches the game with a timer on it) and Buy Now icon. What to do......what to do! This has happened on several games, including Pacmania 3.

  4. The activation file is in the ZIP archive, NOT to where they installed the game or the desktop.

    OHHHHH HOLY MOLY!

    yes it IS there.....Good grief. I searched all over and never even thought to look there. Thanks soo much. Now I've missed out on some of the other games, but I know where to look now. Thanks a ton!
