Requesting Technical Support

Before contacting eGames for Technical Support, please be sure to check all the other resources available to you for help. In the Help menu above, click on "Common Questions" to read through the Frequently Asked Questions thoroughly to find your problem before contacting eGames. All support requests can take up to 5 days for a reposnse, and most often end up being the same answers that are presented in the FAQ's.

Also, be sure to check our website FAQ's for the most up to date issues on your product. In addition to the general FAQ's, there are product specific questions and answers, usually with more recent issues that were not known at the time this CD was manufactured. You can visit our Online Support site by selecting the Help menu above and clicking on the "Online Help" button.

If you have checked both of these areas and still cannot find an answer to your question, you can use our Online Support Request Form to send your request to one of our Technical Support Representatives.
