Windows 8 Download Help
« on: December 27, 2012, 04:23:04 am »
I just got a new ASUS laptop with Windows 8 on it. The FeralHeart download files don't seem to be working on my computer. When I click the download or torrent links, it takes me to an app I downloaded and then does nothing. I've restarted my laptop twice and tried reinstalling many times. The file downloaded, but will not run. Help?

OK, so an app you've downloaded...? Where does it exactly take you? Like, to your files where it is or an Internet page.

It shouldn't be Windows 8, as it works fine on mine.

*wink wink*

?  There's this little thing called love ?

The app's name is KDrive. The app appears to start, as it takes me to a fullscreen page with the app's logo and nothing else. Then the screen freezes and nothing else happens.

Does anything pop up at the bottom of the screen? There should be a download popping up in a small tabs bar.

What internet provider are you using?

Nothing is at the bottom of the screen, and I'm using Google. I'm going to be downloading Google Chrome soon, I think.

Possibly try to download the Patch first. If that doesn't work either than see if you can go ahead and download Google Chrome and try, though I don't know why that would work and Google wouldn't.

Okay, thanks, I'll try that and report how it turns out.

I tried both and neither worked. The installation files are being saved as data files and not as application files, so the computer isn't recognizing it as a program to be installed.

OK, so you say it's being saved as a data file: Where is it being saved? Your downloads folder?

Yes.
