Probably simple but...

I downloaded and installed a game demo and even restarted the computer. So how do I now run the demo. There is no shortcut on the desktop and nothing in the programs list. I am sure the answer is simple but it illudes me. help help help.

Hello rmh258,

In the Start menu, check in the Games menu button to see if the shortcut is there. If it is not there, then you can add it through the Customize options for the Start menu by dotting a Display option under Games .

Start Menu - Customize

If it is not there either, then go the games EXE file, in the "Program Files" location, and right click on it and click "Send To" and "Desktop (Create Shortcut)".

Hope this helps,
Shawn
