| | No Games Explorer Today I installed Gears of War and ran into problem because no icon was put on my desktop or in the start menu. So I ended up searching for it. When I click the games explorer icon on the left side of my stat menu it blinks mementarily then nothing, no error message no nothing. I can open my all programs and go to the games menu in there and see solitaire and those games but none of my other games. My system is running Windows Vista Home premium. 2.4 core duo processor 4gb ram. |

Try reinstalling GoW, goto the GoW executeable file in the Program Files folder and run the game from there, if it works, make a shortcut to the game on your desktop. If you want to get it working correctly, you might try System Restoring your system to before you started mucking with GoW. Might restore functionallity to your Games Explorer, then try installing GoW again. Good luck, A. |
