MAJOR problems with Creature Creator and Vista
maxon:
If it's Vista, the files are likely hidden. I had a similar problem last week and had to unhide files in Explorer to find what I was looking for. Honestly, though I like Vista, the Microsoft nannying has gone too far.
Interesting thing about the sidebar - I'll make a note of that.
SJActress:
I found the .exe. It's under Start > Games. No, not Start > All Programs > Games. Just Start > Games. It's a new shiny in Vista that sucks.
But my computer still can't "find" it. Whatever! :-\
Emma:
Windows sidebar is evil. I've closed mine and my installed games and stuff always loads quickly, I have no laggage. My husband still has his loaded and on his user account everything is slooooow. He blames me and my installed stuff but he won't believe it is windows sidebar that is causing his problems.
SJActress, what you need to do in Windows Security Center is turn off 'user account control'. You should be able to get into your (unhidden) program files then. To show hidden files and folder, just go to 'my Documents>Organise>Folder and Search Options>view' then about halfway down the window popup there is an option to show hidden files and folders.

I had the same problem, so I just file searched "Spore" and found it that way.

I'm so glad I found this thread! THANK YOU!
I went out and bought the full version of the creature creator today but after installing it it wouldn't run. The trial version wouldn't either but that had been working fine before. The only difference was the EA download manager. I removed that and the creator is working again!
If I hadn't found this I was going to try removing SecuRom and really didn't fancy trying that.
BTW I'm using XP so this isn't just a Vista program.
