    Just reinstall it and instead of blindly clicking next, pay attention to what you're doing.

    C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crysis SP Demo\

    You can run the game in your games explorer.
    Start -> Games.

    There's your answer. I had the same problem, ISITIRIAIFIEI. I installed it and couldn't figure out where it installed or how to access it. haha So you aren't alone.

    you can right click on your game shortcut > go to Properties

    that should show you the location of the game directory

    The problem is that the Crysis Demo doesn't add a shortcut to your desktop. You have to manually go into your installation folder and execute it.

    In Vista?

    That always happens. One of the many reasons I went back to XP.

    ScifiMike12 is right. When I installed it on Vista, I didn't see any shortcuts. I had to manually go into Program Files and find it.
