I'm not sure what you're asking. Could you explain?

Are you talking about Foldit, or another game you've made?

I downloaded Fold It for MAC yesterday and went through a couple levels of the practice/preview games. THe "achidevements" I accomplished show up in my profile, but I can't get back to the preview/practice games or even find out how to start actually playing. The FAQ doesn't help either. It tells me to control click on the app and go to some file somewhere. Where isn't there just an easy way for people to get back to where they left off. I am very frustrated. I would really like to learn this game and play it, but just getting into the game itself shouldn't be this hard. Or is that a test too?? Can someone please help with very very precise instructions? Thanks.

Double-click on the Foldit icon on your Desktop.

It will start up, saying "Contacting Server to Check for Updates…"

Wait.

You will be presented with a splash screen with the game credits. Click the green start button.

It will say "Getting News…"

Wait.

Click OK to go past the news if there is any.

You will be presented with a login screen saying "Please enter your username and password."

Enter your username and password, then click "Play Online"

It will say "Logging in…"

Wait.

You will be presented with a main menu screen, with buttons for "Intro Puzzles", "Science Puzzles", "Duels", and "Achievements"

Foldit Main Menu

Click on "Intro Puzzles"

You will be presented with a puzzle selection screen, with a colored icon for each intro puzzle.

Foldit Intro Puzzle Menu

Double-click the icon of a puzzle you'd like to play. Or single-click and then click "Play"

You will be presented with the intro puzzle you've chosen to play.

Play.

Let me know if that works for you.

I had the precise experience that dafna613 had after downloading to my MAC and playing some practice games. I tried yr suggestions axcho, but double-clicking on the foldit icon on my desktop brings nothing on my screen. It does change the menubar at the top to show foldit. I don't seem to be able to quit the application at all. I guess I will reboot and see what happens.

This is what happens if I don't quit foldit, but just close the window.  There is no way to reopen the closed window without quitting foldit, which can be done from the menu bar or by right-clicking the icon.
