No Games Explorer

[Guest]

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.

Now even worse I tried the to turn off, then on the games in windows. Now
none of the icons in the start all programs work either and the box always
remained checked everytime i went back to the features on/off menu.

Sounds like some of your security settings are messed up, Vista probably
isn't saving information correctly.

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.
