    Hi, which version did you download? Do you have games already on your hard drive or a cd/dvd? If you do, the program is asking you where you have them.

    EX. if they are on a cd you will browse to the cd drive in your pc, usually d:

    if the are in a file on your pc, you will browse or enter the path...drive,folder,file..like c:\documents and setting\my documents\games\game file

    Post if you need more help........good luck
