Sounds like you need a class in basic basics for computers. This is the best I can do.

The Nexus is a site for mods, not a site for learning how to install a game, or lessons on basic computer file structure (where things are put so the computer can find them) But we try to help anyway.

 

First rule of computers - computers are totally stupid. You have to do the thinking for them. :thumbsup:

 

If you don't know what we are saying when we use the basic terminology associated with computers, then you really need to learn a little about computer file structure.

 

It's like trying to give directions on how to get somewhere when the person doesn't understand words like 'road', 'intersection', 'left turn' Yup, these are the 'nerdy' words used for giving directions on how to get somewhere. And the computer nerdy words are just as necessary to find out how to get somewhere when using a computer. If you refuse to learn them, you will be lost with a computer. Just as if you don't learn the words used for giving directions to Joe's house you will be lost. :whistling:
