Hi, I was just wondering who with their vast knowledge of computers can possibly explain what this means. Its part of an instruction in order to install a program but I don't get this step: After install copy all files from "\crack\" dir in program dir and overwrite!

Thou shall not pirate computer programs. [/end official admonition]

That said, the instructions seem pretty clear to me...

In this context, most likely "directory".

Look, if you're going to steal software like a weasel, you should at the very least be somewhat familiar with computers. Otherwise it's just sad, like a criminal trying to rob a bank with a tuba.

You copy the files into the target directory, and when windows asks "there exists a file with the same name already, do you wish to overwrite?" you click yes...

Just because you are installing a crack doesn't mean you are pirating software. When I buy a game, the first thing I do is download and install the no-cd crack.
