I don't know why it's not working for me. Could you type in the box or did you use browse, and if you used browse, how did you select what you wanted?

Thanks Marian!

Edit: I think I got it now! I'll have to download something to confirm.

No, you can't type in the box. I used browse, then found what I wanted and clicked on/selected it, and then hit okay. I will say that it was a trifle finicky for me and the first time I did it, it did not take. Occasionally my mouse has issues, though, so I am not sure of the culprit in this instance.

I absolutely panicked after I uninstalled the Game Manager and saw that empty spot on my desktop because I didn't know how I would ever access any of the games again. scared It took a few minutes to remember that I just had to try to download a game from the site and that the manager would then install.

Just so you all know - i have been using computers since before Windows or even DOS, and have NEVER used anything like Malwarebytes, or McAfee, or Norton, etc. etc. etc.
And I have never had a virus or other invasion.

Was going to say more; but not tonight. Luv ya all

Lucky you, Tally Ho! There are certainly ways to minimize one's risk. Personally I would not feel comfortable without having something on my computer to assist with such things. But different strokes for different folks. And we love you too. smile

Ob, previously there was also a link to download the Game Manager in the help section of Big Fish. Will take a look and see if this option is still available.

Yes we do, Tally Ho (love you too)! Curious what else you were going to say. For the record, I think I'm pretty careful about what I do on the internet, but I still prefer some back up protection. And I don't think anything I did would have affected the BF manager or the installed games involved.

Marian, there probably is, but at that moment of panic I couldn't see it. So far, everything is still going well!

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



Needed this reminder from Marian as to how to do it.

An update for the Game Manager was released yesterday. Apparently they increased the font size slightly and also added dark mode.

I installed by going to Options in the Game Manager, then to About, and then Check for Updates.

Thanks for the info although I'd rather not have to deal with it laugh.
