I recently downloaded Microsofts Flight Simulator. It was on three disks and took quite some time to d/l.
Now, I cannot find it, no icon, no listing anywhere. I know it is on there as it was a successful d/l. I've looked everywhere I know where to look which isn't saying much as I am not computer literate.
Can you help me find it? Thanks.

If you downloaded it that's pirated software and we have a policy against helping you make pirated software work...
Having said that are you sure the file you downloaded was really a game? It could have been a virus or nothing at all... or did it used to work?

Well you obviously HAVE downloaded this file illegally if you don't want to answer my questions and simply want to disagree cause you don't like what I said.

Sounds like you are taking him too literally. A lot of non-technical people use the term "download" in the place of "install".
Check Start > Programs. Look for a folder named Microsoft Flight Simluator or Microsoft.
Being a Microsoft game, it actually may be installed under the games folder in the start menu (same place you find solitaire, spades, etc).

Perhaps... if they meant installed from a disc that would be different than downloaded from some website on the internet.
It would have been better to clarify this than simply post a comment that you don't agree with my answer. If this really is the case the answer above shows how to find it.

Go to:
Start / Search / For Files or Folders, in the Search box type Microsoft Flight Simulator (if that was the name of the file itself)
A listing of the Location will appear.
