Put it in your c:/programfiles/hasbro/rollercoastertycoon/trackfiles.  C:/ being whatever letter your harddrive is. If your need more help e-mail me. I'm not the most proficient at RCT but i'll help you as much as I can.

Just double click My Computer and then click on the floppy drive(C) then your dowloaded track willl appear. Double click the track and it will start the game.
Thanks for the help on that. New question- What are trainers? I just started playing the game afew weeks ago, now I can't stop... I'm trying to take in as much as I can.
Trainers help you to tweak the game(get all rides without waiting thru the research , unlimited money ,win senarios own all the land ,and numerous other things)

I sometimes use the dragons ioa trainer but there are many others out there at various web sites   you will probably need the drexler patch also available at  various web sites  if you have one of the rct addons(cf/aa or loopy landscapes)

What if you don't have a zip drive?

I downloaded the Dragons IOA trainer, now the game won't even open! Help, please!
Do you have the drexler patch?

Yeah, I downloaded that, too.
Get Drexler Patch, then get get Dragons IOA. I have the Dragons IOA 6.0 and im very pleased with it. More so that the rest of the trainers out there.
You don't need a zip drive. The file is .zip right? This means you need WinZip or any file-extracting programs. You can get WinZip from http://www.winzip.com . ZIP's confused me when I was younger but they don't now.

I downloaded the Drexler Patch, then I downloaded Dragons IOA 6.0, and then I could not open the game. After uninstalling/deleting them, I could finally open the game again, but all my files were gone and I had to start from the beginning. Does anyone know why this happened, or what I can do to prevent it from happening again?
Well that sucks.... but RCT Station has a lot of saved games that you can load, and wait a few secs to "leagaly" win.

Did you open the game after the trainer? If you do that, the game freezes and can crash. You need to open the trainer AFTER the game is completely loaded.

That is a possibility, although I don't really remember the order I did it in. I'd like to attempt it again, but I really don't care to start over again either.. Thanks for the help. :)
