Ok i'm thick as shit when it comes to computers so i'm going to have to do the un-manly thing and ask....How the hell do you unzip a file? Is it the option that says extract to...? Tried pretty much everything and it still wont work

No worries. It wasn't exactly the clearest thing I've ever posted.

I presume you've managed to download the 2 files; the emulator "beebem33.exe" and the disk image "FootballDirector.zip".

If you've ran beebem33.exe and gone through the installation then by default it get's installed to "c:\program files\beebem".

Next right-click on footballdirector.zip, you should have an "Extract All...", if not "Extract to" should be similar enough to follow the instructions.

When it asks you where you want to extract it to put in "C:\Program Files\BeebEm\DiscIms".

When that's done, goto the start menu, beebem should be in there somewhere, click on it like you would anyother thing in the start menu.

BeebEm should start up with the familiar bbc screen in a window. Goto the file menu and press run disk. it should come up with the normal open a file window thing, hopefully there is a folder called "FootballDirector", double click on that, then double click on a folder called "CDS" then double click on "FootballDirector.ssd". This should start it up fine and you can play away to your hearts content.

One more thing, if you want to save a game, then you have to the file menu, then disk options and unselect "write protect 0". Otherwise you get an error.

Hopefully that works. It beats the crap out of fm2006!
