I've downloaded ScummVM and would like to try to use it. I've also downloaded Flight of the Amazon Queen-twice.
When I open Scumm, if I understand correctly, I need to "add" a game. But I can't figure out how to find the game I'm looking for. The selections of where I can look to find the game do not include where I've downloaded the game (and I've downloaded it to two different places now--can't find how to select either one). It keeps prompting me to go to C drive, program files(x86). How do I get it to look at the Desktop folders? I don't know if it makes a difference that I'm using Win 7,but thought I'd mention that.
This has got me scratching my head.
The answer is....chocolate! Who cares what the question is.....

I just looked at the ScummVM site, and noticed that Flight of The Amazon Queen is a bz2 archive. Personally I use WinRAR to extract files since it can unpack just about anything. Easy to use. Just install it, right-click the file you want to extract and choose how you want to extract it. Easy.

If you've never used the program Jenny mentioned (7-Zip) give it a shot, it supports the bz2 format s well. I was a big WinRAR fan myself until she'd mentioned it a few times and decided to try it. I use it exclusively these days.

Success! 7-Zip is installed and FOTAQ is recognized by Scumm and it plays. Does anyone know if it plays only in a small window? I'm so happy I mastered Scumm--I've got to find other games that I can play!
