    I installed my copy of driver parallel lines on my pc with vista
    but it's icon isn't on the desktop or in start menu (i even checked the game folder in the start menu and i didn't see it):cry
    How do i avoid the frustration when that happens?
    do i just copy the game icon from the game folder?:confused

    Hi

    Yes you can copy the game icon as a shortcut from the game folder.


    As for avoiding the frustration, it depends on the game and if its listed as Vista compatible, some games while they work do have issues with saving the shortcut icons to dekstop or start menu.
