OK, thanks for the hints! Except where would the games exe be? Is it on the actual disc when you get this folder open in a window with various options in like setup and information?
Just tried another game I've had since before I even owned a computer and that worked.
Actually found a better deal on The Sims games. Bought 9 of the series for £20 from gamestation website, got the last one!!
Considering the new Wii games are double that price for one, and the PS3 are even more, that ain't bad!
