"Computer icon thing"? Uh... what?
Installing StepMania is a one-step process. All you have to do is double-click on the .exe install file from the SM website and follow the very simple directions. That's all there is to it. _________________

redownload it
reinstall it
C:\Program Files\Stepmania\

installing songs: a step-by-step tutorial by annon (winxp users)
step 1: go to the stepmania folder and click on the songs folder. once you're in there, make a new folder and name it after a mix or whatever you want.
step 2: download the zip file and extract it into the new folder. make sure that each song has its own folder named after that song (e.g. sakura) and make sure it is directly in the new folder. if it's in a folder in a folder in the new folder, it doesn't work. in each of those folders, an mp3 file is required, along with a dwi/sm file, both if they go by the same step sequence and it is optional to put a backround/banner/bgchange/lyrics file in there.
step 3: open stepmania and your song(s) should be selectable. if not, go to the options menu and reload the songs/courses if it still doesn't work, there is a corrupted music file in the folder, or the step files are corrupted. the step files easily open up in notepad, so you can see if somethings wrong with it. check the stepfile creations help thread(or whatever it's called) to see how to see if the code is entered correctly. if it still doesn't work after that, the music file is corrupted and the song won't open in stepmania, so you might as well delete the song's folder, not the mix's folder. keep it for other files. if it does work, you should be able to play game mode, select all music mode, and select the song with nothing being empty.
that should help some people |

The install icon does look like a computer with a dog on the screen. _________________

OK... First question... where did you install it (EX: C:\Program Files\StepMania\)? Second question, where are you looking for these folders?
If you supply me with this info I can help you. |

It's probably a shortcut. Jeez. |
