I installed a game off lime wire but it wont play. how do you get it to play?

It may be missing components, there's no guarantee that people always put up good files to share. Or you may need a registration code, which only the person who bought the game will have.

Be really careful downloading any programs, there are lots of infected ones out there. Virus info:

well all it says is that I need a CD but if I have all the info why would I need a CD?

That's the way most games are designed now. It's to partly stop piracy. So people need the CD to at least install if not also play the game.

so there is no way I can play the game?

A decent offering would be a game cd image, be that bin, cue, etc. If you don't have that, then you can try burning it to a cd-rw but chances are it's missing components as birdy says. BTW normally we can't talk about piracy topics on this forum so ... I can't really offer any more help than that.

You could buy it. You could also look around for 2nd hand copies. I know around here there's 1st & 2nd hand game shop.
