Im sorry but apart from the fact you give far 2 little information about the problem (need model of computer, need games titles at least), downloaded sounds like "pirated", so since i discourgare that practice and there are a lot of practices involved in it, i could not help even if i wanted to.

hi cats_paw, i downloaded the games from cnet downloads. good to see that people r truly concerned about piracy . the games i downloaded r hexen II, wlofET and delta force black hawk down 1. and the web site said that these r free ware and free 2 try. first i got the error message that glide2x.dll file is missing from my computer and even after downloading and copying to c/windows/system32/ the problem persists. i have a packard bell easynote sj 51 orion A.

Those games are very old, so its more than likely a compatibility issue. You will have to google "how to run [gamename] on [Operating system]".
Probably will involve some emulaton like DosBox.

At least thats how i see it .
