On the page I gave you for Agent Ranck click on download - if you have done this do not do it again.

You then run the file and you should get this screen

Pick Lite and click ok.
On the last screen tick the box to run.
It will open to this

Hi! I did it. I discovered that the download/install situation is done, but you cannot open the file from there. I pressed the button on the desktop and a list of various things came up. One said “file locater pro.” I clicked on that and the page came up that you showed me. I pressed the “lite” option and did as instructed. It took about 20 minutes, but “no file was found.” I know I must be absolutely accurate about the words used, but I popped back here to see if I should run this program again with options other than C:? I had better wait for advice in case I do something wrong. I may not get back immediately because I have medications to take in the afternoon that require injections and other gruesome whatnots. I can’t believe you managed to get me this far.

I think the problem a lot of people like me have is what I call “assumed knowledge.” I don’t know if you know anything about vintage sewing patterns, but the early ones do not have a whole load of preliminary information on them. This is because they assume women from that period have been taught basic/intermediary sewing skills. Women later on down the decades probably do not have these basic sewing skills. They therefore miss all this “assumed knowledge.” I think it is the same with computer/technical skills. I lack all the “assumed knowledge.”

If you try to explain to younger people that my generation had no computers or mobile phones they look at you askance. We had a black and white television with three channels. The National Anthem played at midnight, the TV shut down, and everyone went to bed! While their brains were developing, they had mobile and computer technology, so their neural pathways are structured to understand the basic concepts. They build from there.

It is ironic that I am working to help (especially) young people to have knowledge previous generations would have had. Knowledge that can help them navigate life. There are so many that are struggling to make their way in life with no compass. Then when there is “advice” it seems to me to be either trying to convert them to this or that, and/or very contradictory or “space cadet-ty.” I take a position, of course, but I do not impose it.

The other thing women my age do very well is talk too much, so I will shut off now, lol.

On firefox click the 3 lines top right hand corner

click on that
double click on agent ransack file.

Hi. I’ve just seen this. I will give it a try.

Hi. I’ve just seen this. I will give it a try.

I got to Firefox, clicked on three lines, got to downloads, I found what was always there, my photographs I had downloaded from Pixabay, Curiously, there was one video on there. I couldn’t find any option to find Agent Ransack on the dropdown menu. I tried to get off Firefox and click on the FileLocator on the start menu where I found it before. I didn’t know what to click on when I got there. Did I do something wrong?

run this program again with options other than C:

Do you have more than C

I suddenly see all these emojis. Bit confused, as I didn’t put them in. I copied the details out exactly as they were written. Let me know if I have done something wrong by accident. Maybe I didn’t leave as many spaces as I should have done. I will write it out again leaving more spaces, but bear in mind the way I wrote it first was exact.

I ran each one and they all said “no files/folders match that search criteria.” I can hardly believe I can do one stupid thing and this happens. Have we run out of options, or is there still hope?

I’m not sure I know what you mean. I have all the options I wrote (weirdy emoji thing notwithstanding) and each one came back with that " no files etc."

[PeterOz]

no files on c and you only have one drive.
I cannot find any answer why doodly won’t download again if you can see them on doodly.
What web browser are you using. e.g Microsoft edge, Firefox, Chrome etc.
Do you have more than 1 browser?

[PeterOz]

Re reading I see you use Firefox web browser
You should also have Microsoft edge.

Open Microsoft edge and see if you can download from doodly

Hi. I use Firefox. I can’t understand why I could make what seems to be a small error and lose my ability to store videos on my computer - plus lose all the videos already stored there. I think I might have Chrome as well, come to think of it.

PS. What do you mean by I “only have one drive?”

Hi. Update. On the basis of what you said about Doodly, I have almost completed actually making another video. I haven’t finished it yet, but what I thought was, I will finish this new one and export it. See what happens. I have re-exported the video I was working on previously, but perhaps if I do a completely new one it will go to my video file. I won’t bother you tomorrow as it’s Sunday, but I should have finished doing this plan by Monday afternoon. I will let you know what happens. Obviously, if you think of anything else then let me know and I’ll get on to it. I really appreciate all the time you have given to me about this problem. This is really very good of you.

[PeterOz]

Please use chrome or edge to see if a current video will download from doodley.

“only have one drive?”

From you posted above you have one drive. It Has partition C and partition D and a hidden partition.
This is how a lot of computers are set up.
Some computers have more than one drive, I.E one of my computers has 5 drives inside.

: ) is a keyboard shortcut to insert some commonly used emojies (I’ve had to add the extra space so as not to generate one myself)
hovering your mouse over the list of emojies shows you the shortcut - like : cry : (no spaces) will give a sad face :cry: .
