your not exactly giving out a lot of information here.

what have you tried so far? what hasn't worked?

The installer for windows is prety simple, double click it and it installs.

1. Go to this link http://sourceforge.net/project/download ... mirror=ovh

2. When the window pops up click, "save file"

3. When the downloads window pops up click "open" on the bzflag bar.

4. When the next window pops up, click "ok"

5. When the bzflag 2.0.8 setup window pops up, click "next", then "I agree", then "next", then "next" again, and then install.

6. Once it has finished click "next", then "finish"

And your done, a bzflag icon should appear on your desktop. Double click it, (press the left mouse button twice really fast). And you should be able to do it from there.

I'm sure he knows how to open up an icon on his desktop

gokul, we're here to help but like already said you should be more specific. All you should really do is click on the BZFlag setup, wherever that may be. Perhaps you downloaded it into the wrong place?

i found what was wrong i downloaded a version for linux and i was using windows.now the problem is i cant connect to server

Do you have a firewall? That might be the problem. Make sure it is configured so that it doesn't block BZFLag. Also, make sure your Ethernet cable is plugged in properly. And please use a spell checker and some punctuation.

What does it say? Or does it just not load the server list? Give us help to help you.

A few of people have that problem, you just have to navigate your way through the menu to join a map, and it usually then restores it's self for me.
