I am writing a little game using VB and need to connect to access as a database. I can't manage to and get an error message though the path is correct. Is there somethign I need to download, this is what I have been told, but the download I was given had no effect, it didn't seem to instal properly.

In VB6 I always use the ADO database method, its much more versatile than DAO and isn't used in newer versions anymore. The only thing you need to do for this is to have SP5 installed and ADODB in components added to your projects then you could use the following code to implement a database connection:
'global deffinitions
Dim Database As ADODB.Connection
Dim Adodc1 As ADODB.Recordset
'in a sub code like form_load
Dim connstd As String, tabel As String
Set (Name of your database here could be anything) = New ADODB.Connection
Database.CursorLocation = adUseClient
connstd = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & (insert databasepath here, example C:\test.mdb) & ";Mode=ReadWrite|Share Deny None;Persist Security Info=False"
Database.Open connstd
Set (Name you want for your table for easy access) = New ADODB.Recordset
tabel = "insert here the table you want to use"
Adodc1.Open tabel, connstd, adOpenKeyset, adLockPessimistic
This should work without any problems. To read or write in your database all you need to do now is to use the following code:
Name_of_your_table!name_of_the_collum = something 'this is for writing
something = Name_of_your_table!name_of_the_collum 'this is for reading
There shouldn't be a space between the ! and the next part of the code but for some reason this is done automatically here.
