    Hi! Im sure this is covered somewhere but im not sure whats it is called so if someone knows what im talking about could you please link me to a guide or somthing? I have 4 kids and as you can imagine I have purchased several games on the internet and downloaded them to my pc. I would like to burn them to discs and even make them bootable if possible while im at it. I have lost quite a few games when i have restored before and i would like to create these discs so i dont lose anymore if i should have to restore again. any help would be greatly appreciated. tyvm!

    What format do they come in? Are the EXE files, ZIP files, etc.?

    You should simply be able to pop a blank CD-R into your computer's CD and/or DVD Burner, start whatever burning program came with it, select a CD-ROM compilation type, and then add the files and burn. Nero offers a bootable CD compilation type, although some other programs do too.

    If you have a more specific issue, let me know.

    im not sure how to find what they are. I know what the zip file would look like i have 1 thing in there zipped. but the games.. i just downloaded and they were ready to play on my pc. i just clicked on an icon and it played. Im really sorry im not to sure about much of this thats why i restore so often i think lol i always end up messing somthing up. I got a nero disc with my virus disc when i bought it so ill download that today and see if i can make it work thrue that and tyvm for taking the time!

    Just try burning some of these games to a CD and run them from it. Preferably, use a game you haven't run before so you'll start with a clean slate.
