why cant i download a game on my usb flashdisk

kiwigal63 · 09-29-2008, 01:33 AM

Im very new at this stuff and dont know where to go.
I have a 7"asus eeepc which is 1.0.1 (not sure what that means)
I rung the asus support as i cant download anything on my computer or my flashdisk.I was told to have a linux compatabile game and it should work,so i got a game of mahjong and downloaded it and cant open it and dont really know how.
Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right way as been trying for days now.
Im not good at computers so need an easy softer way if possible.
Thank you in advance

What do you mean you can't download anything on your computer or flashdisk?

Hi,

Post a link to the game so we can look at it so we can advise. You could post the complete filename for the game with the extension.

We could then tell you how to possibly install it.

The .tgz file from the site you mentioned is an archive. You'll need to extract the files using a program such as Xarchiver before you can run the game.
