@veezee: As a noob yourself, I suppose that denigrating other's computer skills is your way of attempting to establish your perceived 'superior' computer abilities on this site. But in my opinion a better strategy on your part, which would better serve to establish your credibilty in that regard, would be if you actually provided some useful technical information on occasion.
@Jordi: thank you for responding to my question, and for the useful technical information.
It may well be true that Jordi's response was more helpful. Certainly, it was lot more in-depth than my own reply. But, my answer was simply a quick and simple fix. To someone of lesser intellect, my answer would suffice. The reason my initial response was so short, is that you failed to run a double-click app successfully. I do not doubt that you have a reasonable level of intellect, as is indicated by your perfectly acceptable grammar and spelling. My doubt was that a complex answer may not be what you were after.
I have no intention of trying to establish myself as any kind of computer wizard - I could probably pull it off on the BBS, but here it is an exercise in futility. I didn't intend to offend you, as clearly, I have; I do so hate it when people take generalised statements personally. So, here's a cupcake. Run along.

Well gee, for someone who says he wasn't intentionally trying to offend someone, a surefire way to prove that are those last two sentences of yours. :P But you are mistaken. In the first place I wasn't aware that your statements were specifically directed to me, especially since I had forgotten that you had even made a suggestion. Going back to read it now, the reason I forgot was that yes, it was very short, and more important, I had already tried that. And really, I didn't spend any more time than I had to on the whole matter because I knew how to install the file manually and so that's what I did.
You were also mistaken because I was not so much offended by your response as amused by it, and thought to give you some practical advice on the matter. You, of course, are free to take it or leave it, and continue dispensing as many cupcakes as you'd like.

Unfortunately not, its just I quite often fail to pick up the tone of a post. I will admit, that prior to the Sims 3, I had never ventured off of the "friendly" sims boards. Maybe this is why my attitude can sometimes be percieved, here, as childish - something I shall endeavour to change. Seems I keep pissing people off recently, my humour fails to transpose well to the internet.

Hadn't seen that tool before, may be handy for safeguarding the PC against my parents...
