    Hey guys i installed Crysis and it doesnt show up in the windows vista game launcher/explorer. So now I cant choose to run it directx 9. I tried dragging it to the game explorer but all it does is make a shortcut with no options to choose what directx seeing. Help would be greatly appreciated, because I dont want to have to go into the crysis systme folder to play it in directx 9 all the time

    You can create a shortcut to the Crysis .exe and that will work fine. Go into the Crysis directory where the executable file is to launch the game, right-click it, click Create Shortcut, then drag that shortcut to your desktop and modify it so the game runs DirectX 9.
