    downloading the crysis demo. Every time i click on the icon, it reinstalls. I went to the folder that it says it is installed into and none of the folders can open. Any suggestions? if you need more information ask me. I'm not sure what else you need except that i can tell you that i have the latest drivers.

    How about clicking directly on the .exe? Making a new shortcut to it?

    Crysis_sp_demo is the installer file, a true shortcut sure be named Crysis - Single Player Demo.lnk (the .lnk part may or may not sure up depends on how you have your folder setting set).

    Just kidding. It's letting me now, I was getting an error message yesterday. I do not see anything that actually runs the game though. Do you know what file it would be under? i am in josh/appdata/local/temp/rarsfx0
    could it be that it isnt installing right? how would i correct that?

    thank you guys for your help.

    Go to C:/Program files/Electronic arts/crytek/crisis/crysisspdemo/bin32 and then in there you will see an icon that says crysis. Click on that and it will fire the game up. If you want to be able to run it again from the desktop, drag it to your desktop.
