    I just downloaded the "Crysis-Demo" single player version .

    I think it is about 1.77 GB and the whole thing was downloaded on my computer .When I run it and try to install ,it says the game was installed .

    While it is getting installed it gets so on a Temporary file .

    Now my questions are :

    1)After getting installed I cant see the icon or where it is installed so I cant start it .Where is it getting installed ?Where to find it ?

    2)During installation usually the programs ask where we would like to install it but in crysis demo there is no such option and it gets straightaway installed in a temporary folder .Then how to change the installation folder ?

    May be Im doing something wrong .

    By the way,I didn't install the whole version of Crysis because I think the specifications of my laptop are insufficient to run it.

    Any suggestions would be very helpful.

    Thanks and Regards.

    How to find it? windows explorer search, F3 :)
    It`s usually in Program Files, EA Games.
    Uninstal or delete it if it`s not working, use CCleaner to remove leftovers and reinstal.

    Hi eleron911,

    I think I only need to reinstall it and not download it again ?

    The downloaded game is 1.77 GB and I think the download was complete.

    Even though I used DAP still it took ages to get downloaded .

    I used the "happy hours" :)(ie when the internet time is not counted) of my ISP to download it in some days but one day I went to sleep while the downloading went beyond the happy hours and now my ISP is showing that I have used even more time that is specified per month :(

    By the why could you please give me the link for CCleaner free download ?

    Thanks and Regards.
