I don't understand...NO CD Required???
 

I am new at this and I purchased a few PC games for my kids for Christmas. I want them to be able to just click on an Icon. I tried replacing the exe for the Hoyle Card Game 2004 with the RAR file (I do not know what I am doing just following the instructions) and it did not work. I am concerned about one other game which I paid $60cdn and I am afraid of it getting ruined. My son likes Chess so I bought ChessMaster and I do not understand how to replace an existing exe with an RAR file. From what I read the Chessmaster exe replacement is not out yet but I still do not know how to do this... Can anyone explain or direct me to a thread. Santa is having a difficult time with software this year......

Thank you

You have to extract the cracked files from the rar-archive.
For that you can use WinRAR (www.rarlabs.com).

After extracting the files, you will have an exe-file (most of the time).
This EXE-File you have to copy to the folder, where the game is installed.
Windows will ask you, if you want to overwrite the already existing file. Just click YES!

That's all!!!
