Which is why DumBunny ask where to get a manual, NOT down load a manual.

I am well aware that a lot of my questions are Newbe questions, which is why I ask about a manual.

From what I can see, most online manual seam to need adobe, which I don't have, so I don't think they would work on my machine anyway, could be wrong on that as I'm not that good with computers.

And as for the comment about "wrong meds" it's not even worth answering because it has happened to more people then you would believe, and it's not like in the movie "50 first dateds" I do remember some things, and

I TAKE NOTES IN A GAME.

On line is just a hole lot harder, and I would like to get a hard copy.

More time has been waisted fighting about this then it would have take just to answer my "dumb" questions in the first place.

You simple want to fight, and I will no longer play your game.
 
Well If I remember right, there is a folder in the CD titlet extras/manual. There is also setup for the Adobe Acrobat Reader. It lets you view .pdf files ie adobe files. Just install it from the CD. Well, if you really want a hard copy then you just have to print the manual. But some of the information in the manual are outdated. So you also should print the readme.txt's in the game folder. There is a list there about the changes.

I also like to take notes in games. It's a shame that most games don't have a journal/notebook in them so you could like write down thingies you'd like to remember later on.

52 years old? :?: Wow, well you got my respect if a 52 years old woman plays computer games. :)
 
Well, there's that don't know much about computers thing, I have a friend who usually does things like get files off of cd for me, ( yes, I know it shouldn't be that hard) but he's out of town for the weekend, and my vacation is over on the 10th and I had wanted to play the game during that time. The last time I tried to go into a file and get something, my computer fixer told me he would hit me if I ever did that again.

I make no bones about the fact that I'm not good with anything electric, (runs in the family) I can burn water on an electrc stove, but give me a gas one, and I'll make you a great meal.

I guess it's my electric personality, shorts things out and all.

So, back to the hard copy of the manual, any ideas?

Did I mention, I don't have a Printer?

Unless you buy a printer or take the CD to Kinko's and have them print it out you aren't going to get a hard copy.

Don't think I'd have any luck on Amazon.com or any such place?

You can try, but honestly you aren't going to find a stand alone Fallout manual for sale anywhere - the only way you're going to get one is to spend a ton of money for the full game on ebay and it would be stupid to do that if you already have the game. Just find someone you know who has a printer and have them do it, or go to the library and print it out there.
 
Ok, thanks,

Another dumb question, and I know this one is, and it will be so easy I'll be mad at myself, but how do you install the motion scanner? And Yes, I did a search, and got nothing at all.
 
I'll bet you do it the same way as you used the info disc you get from the library. sorry, really don't feel well today, that one sort of snuck up on me. :oops:
 
Just go to the library and print the manual. You do have a library there, right? :wink:

Motion scanner? Umm... You put the scanner in your hands slot and then left click on the slot in the main game view. Or in your inventory just right-click and hold and then select the use icon. And if I remember right, just having the scanner in your inventory boosts your Outdoorsman skill by 20%.
 
To all of you who keep telling me to get the manual, I did, and I unzipped it, and I've tried to open it with every text program I have, and all I get is garbage, unreadable symbles that mean nothing.

So, you have all waisted you time and meanness for nothing.

I don't have adobe, and it won't work on anything else.
 
What is the extension name of the manual, .pdf? Then just install the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

If you don't start reading the thread I'm going to lock it and consider you a gimmick poster that should be banned. Todo answered that question already, on this page, about 10 posts up. I don't care what your excuse is, if you aren't going to pay attention to what people are telling you than I'm not going to allow you to ask for help.
 
FYI to go to my library and have the manual printed at 25 cents per page, (which is what it would cost) that's $30.50 for that manual, That's a bit costly for my blood.

I am sorry I have been such a bother to you, I see no reason to need to ask you anything else.
 
Todo,

Thank you very much for the help, I know sometimes I seam a bit dence, but it's usually because I have either already though of the idea and rejected it, or thought it over and rejected it, ie going to Kinko's or the library ($30.50 of a munual is a bit much) and the same can be said on the other side. People kept saying, down load it. So I did, no one here bother to add that I could get Adobe free online. The last time I saw it it was running over $100 and that's WAY out of my price range.

I have read 56/122 pages of the manual, and so far I've come up with 1 or 2 things I didn't know, the rest I'll probably get from the walk through, althou I usually don't like to read them much untill I have finished at least that part. You know, so I can see what I've missed.

Thanks again for the help, sorry I've been such a bother.

The Adobe Acrobat READER is free. But I really don't know about other Adobe products. Maybe I should have pointed it more clearly that I meant the READER.

Anyway, have fun.

What's so difficult in expecting someone to be able to know how to use their computer before they actually attempt to use it? I know it doesn't work like that, but the excuses are becoming quite stretched. If you can find this site, it isn't too hard to expect that you should be able to find other material likewise.
