Cryptrol I have just spent hours downloading that other file from the previous link, and deleted it to download this one from bytecoin. I searched most of the morning looking for the genuine link and a wallet download that I could follow. The bytecoin webpage I found looked nothing like this. Sadly I am still lost as I don't know how to unpack and run one file before the other, so guess I am stuffed. I have bytecoin on cryptonote where I traded it. They have shutdown and I am unable to convert it to btc which would have been easy.....thanks for the link, anyway. I have downloaded it but have no clue what to do next as I am not computer savvy....

There are two cryptocoins with the same name Bytecoin (BTE) which is a bitcoin clone, and this thread's Bytecoin (BCN) which is not a Bitcoin clone but a Cryptonote implementation.

Many people here can help you, just follow the step by step in the webpage and ask here when you get stuck.
Another possibility is trade your Bytecoins off-chain, there is a trading thread somewhere, so you can sell them and send them to the address of the buyer.
