I just recently started having a problem with vista(most likely). When i install a game, say spore or Age of empires 3 warchiefs or Lord of the rings online, (the three that have the problem) after the install, the program dosent show up in Start>All Programs. the folder is not there or higlighted, and there are no shortcuts on my desktop. i can still run the games, i can just enter the disk for AOE3WC, for LOTRO or Spore i have to go to the program files and find the exe in the file and make a shortcut to put on the desktop, i just cant seem why its not showing up in the start menu or on the desktop. also the games dont appear in the search function on the start bar. the only place they show up after i install them is in the Start>Games folder, where windows detects the games that are installed. all my games are in there, and i can play i just cant figure out why vista decided to not put them in the start bar or on  my desktop anymore. thanks.
