333,000 Games by Viva Media , why aren't there 3 disks? And why is it so hard to install?

On the Amazon Marketplace, we are selling a version of the game that's on DVD. Our previous release Had 3 disk and while it installs in a similar manner , you have to insert each disk to install

When you insert the 333,000 Games Disk, you will see a screen such as this :

It may even ask you where you bought it. You can choose other if you don't want to say where you got it from.

Next, you click on the disk series of games you want to install. For this instance I clicked on Disk 1 on these series of games. If you clicked it, here is the screen you get :

Click on a button and follow the install prompts. Once you have installed a game , you should see a shortcut for this game on your desktop.

If you want to install more games and want a simpler approach to doing so, with the disk in the drive, look for your 333,000 Games icon on the desktop. Provided you had closed out any other windows that the application had open you are presented with a window that looks like this :

This is a menu with all the games on the list, so you don't have to access the GUI found in the first image to get to all the individual discs on the DVD. This approach is much faster and saves the user time.

For those of you who encounter longer then typical install times , you have an alternative to installing this games. Please note this is a fairly technical manner and I'm going to explain how to do this.

1. Click on Start , Computer (Or My Computer if your on XP)

2. With the 333,000 Games disk in the drive right click the DVD Drive and select OPEN.

3. Inside the window press Control A. If you did it correctly all the files should be highlighted.

4. Now, right click on an empty space on the desktop and select New Folder. Don't name the folder anything.

5. Go back to the Window with the CD Drive open with all of your files, Drag the contents of the CD to the new folder. Note - It will take some time to copy over the files.

6. Once the files copy over, you should have these Files/ Folder inside your folder in the image below :

You can do 1 of 2 things to install your games. Click double click on the blue icon inside the folder to start the installation , or start the install process from each individual folder. For example . CD1 has Autorun 1, CD2 has AutoRun2 and CD 3 has Autorun 3. Double clicking these files from within the folder will start the install process for each disk.

Now that the files are copied to the hard drive locally, you should have a significantly shorter wait time installing the games, especially the 100,000 Mahjong Games and the 2002 Games that are on the disk which claim on the install process to take more then 10 minutes to install.

And that's 333,000 Games by Viva Media in a nutshell.
