Well mine seems to be working fine also so I second that "Whew!" smile

I now have 2 Game Manager icons on my desk top though and both of them seem to be updated and usable. The old one has a + sign on it and the new one has a "start button" arrow. Is it safe to assume I can just put the old one in my trash?

Hi, Mad!

I just launched the Game Manager to see if I could find the Before and After pictures, and I'm getting the "Time to Update!" message again. Since I can do major damage when I'm tired, I'll try again tomorrow because I have no idea what went wrong grin . Murphy strikes again lol !

I’m on my iPad right now so can’t check to see if the Before and After pics. are still showing.

Will look next time I use my Win10 machine 🙂

(Hope all is well, Susie07 🤞)

No problem Mad!

One thing I noticed that I don't like is that the manager is opening up when I exit each game. I did not have that happen before. I guess I will have to create different .exe icons for each game.

Hi, oldbroad and Mad!

Thanks! I was finally successful by downloading and installing the update from my Game Manager instead of the website, and everything seems to be working fine. I also have 2 Game Managers on my desktop but, since I don't want to tempt fate, I'm leaving the old one right where it is wave !

Mad and ob, open up the Game Manager and choose Options - then put a check mark next to "quick exit." That should fix things up for you. That option was available in the prior Game Manager, too.

I ended up with multiple icons on my desktop too. I decided to live on the edge and got rid of one of them. grin

Hi, Marian!

You are very brave because my old Game Manager is not going anywhere grin !

Thanks for the tip about putting a check mark next to "Quick Exit" in the new Game Manager. I just made the change.

Ah, Thank you, Marian! Check marked! I guess I must have done that before but didn't remember. There are some games that don't like to shut down properly (such as Pop Art games) and for those, I make a separate .exe shortcut.

Susan, I'm leaving the old one on my desktop also, for the time being wink

Hi, Mad!

If you click on "Find PC Games" at the top left side of the Game Manager, the four options underneath have big pictures, so I assume they are "After" smile.

I'm just hoping nothing goes wrong the next time I buy a game because the old Game Manager has been converted to the new Game Manager so I now have 2.

Not me, Mad, unless I just don't understand what you mean.

Susan, yes, same here. They are both the same which is why I assume I can get rid of one but still am not (yet).
