Can someone save me please. Our computer died this week, and my son-in-law has installed another one for us, which means we are having to reinstall everything.

My husband has these games he plays which involve flying and shooting down aeroplanes. He did it on the old one without any problem, but having installed it on the new one, the game is upside down! He said all the installation process and instructions were the right way up, but the game isn't! He's too old to stand on his head.

We need very simple instructions - he asked if he'd put the disc in upside down! Son-in-law lives too far away.

Does the game have a help line or tools that you can try reversing? Its possible that it may not play correctly on the new computer, some dont.

Hello Jean

I think he's already clicked on everything in sight. Maybe it is just because its a different one. That's an answer I may just be able to explain!

Hi Dionfortune

I have written that down - thank you. Once he gets it back on the screen, I won't be able to get near the computer for some time, but will report back later!

Hello all

just to report back - there doesn't seem to be any kind of task bar or access to any kind of set up or adjustments with these games. I think he might just have to buy a new one!

Thanks for your interest and help.
