But dont worry he will leave in a year or so.

RM Converter 2.21

First ~ download the program from the above link and install it on your computer. It is only about 2 megabytes so it should download quickly.

(Do NOT start the program yet!)

Second ~ download the .zip file at the link below...

A .zip file for Salma!

Inside this 700Kb .zip file are three files.

Third ~ unzip the three files and put them in the folder C/Program Files/RM Converter.

You now have a fully working version of RM Converter 2.21

Now - start the program. It's actually very easy to use. But if you have problems then please post again and I'll walk you through it.

I have the program myself and it's a bit slow, to be honest, but it does work! I have included a picture of the program working and that may help also.

Now - that wasn't so hard was it?

wow im impressed!!!!!

[stogie bear]

Oops... I forgot!

When you move the 3 files to the RM Converter folder on your computer it will tell you that there is already a file in there with the same name, and do you want to overwrite it.

Click "YES" because you do want to replace the file that is in there with the new one!

hmmm mr. STOGIE the downloading of the converter did not pose any trouble but the files to be zipped did...everytime i tried to open them it said i had to find a certain program in the web to open them or something....

[liisawinkler]

and also mr stogie because im using a proxy site the zip files labels as a very long file LOL

[stogie bear]

OK - You need a .zip program to open .zip files!

There are loads of these programs around but we'll bypass that for now!

Instead, do this...

Download the file at the link here...

RMConverter.exe (Download this file!)

It's not very big, so it won't take long! Then copy or move it to the folder C/Program Files/RM Converter.

Your computer will tell you that you already have a file by that name and do you want to "overwrite" it.

Click YES, because you do!

Now start the program and see if that works out for you!

[liisawinkler]

should i open the setup? cause i dont think i have a folder here called RM converter

only this one "C:\Program Files\Real"

[liisawinkler]

ahahahah how dumb! i dint install the first program yet on my computer LOL


knock on head! knock on head! knock on head! knock on head!
LOL

Have you installed the program yet?

This is the very first file you downloaded from the website Boilsoft.com (It is almost 2 MBs in size and it is called "rmconverter OR rmconverter.exe

If not - go ahead and install the program now. (Double click on it!)

When you have installed the program then add the LAST file you just downloaded to the directory C/Program Files/RM Converter

The reason that you can't find this folder at the moment is because you haven't installed the program yet!

[stogie bear]

Ah ha! NOW we are getting somewhere!
