That's what I thought it mean, if they just said read your manual nicely in the first place then I would have said I don't have a fucking manual for it as its off the internet not shop bought, that's why I'm asking in the first place because obviously I don't have a bloody manual, there was no need to be rude and just keep telling me to read the manual how the hell am I meant to know that's what RTFM means, they are meant to be one of the site Moderators and actually help me with computer problems not tell me rubbish like RTFM RTFM and McAfee is from the "DOS era" use AVG instead which is rubbish it doesn't pick up anything that gets onto your computer but thanks anyway TippeX at lest you gave me some sort of suggestion, I will contact the publisher and see what they say.

Wow, like we're supposed to (be able to) tell you how to use basic software on your PC, when this forum is about games, not general software...

... and that software is even pirated, too?

Perhaps, by using Google and Wikipedia, the same sites you might want to use before asking general questions.

Thread closed. Drop the attitude.

I´m also a mod and i can say that while we do sometime choose to help (see how i use "choose") that´s not our job, as the name well indicated we are here to mod the posts and make sure the rules are not broken.

And as Joe indicated, this is not a computer issue forum...

I understand that not everybody knows what RTFM means, but i can assure you Joe was not being rude using it, it´s a common tech term, which may be missleading because of "Fucking" in it, but most of the times it´s used as just plan read the manual.

Just though i´d explain that.

"Fucking" in RTFM shows the annoyance that computer-literate people feel upon questions made by computer-illiterate users when such questions could've been answered by reading the manual that was made especially for users! It shows the annoyance because computer-illiterate people waste the time of computer-literate people with all kinds of problems rather than spending their own time to become computer-literate people themselves.
