Spore wont run

[preeves1983]

Got spore installed on Vista, I think, but cant find it under Games or All Programs. Tried to do the autorun off the CD and that didnt work.

Anyone figure out how to get it to run?

Could you post up a DXDIAG report?

I've got the exact same problem man. I have no idea... It goes through the whole installation process but then it's no where to be found... I'm pretty sure I meet all the reqs.

here's my attached DXDIAG

Check your Games folder again under Start > Games. It should be there if it installed. If not, uninstall and reinstall again.

Thanks for lookin at that for me, but it's not there when I looked, nor when I uninstalled and installed it again... :confused:

Vista sometimes doesn't put in under the Start Menu or create an icon. Find the location where it installed to (Spore's directory) and then in the "sporebin" folder, you will see SporeApp.exe. Right click that and select Send to Desktop (create shortcut).

I'm not sure what the normal path for Spore would be, but mine is: F:\Spore Creature Creator\Sporebin (for some reason, it created my game in the Spore Creator Creator folder)
