I had the exact same problem with GoW after I first installed it. After
googling the web, I found out that you need to launch GoW by clicking
START (Vista Orb) > Games (on the upper right side of the Start Menu).

You will then see this Dialog Box:

Double click the GoW icon and you are all set. If you still have
problems, right click on the GoW icon, Properties, and set it to run
with Administrator privileges.

roy69, the steps you outlined are similar to the one I took to get GoW
running on my PC. I now remembered being prompted either during the
install or right afterwards to download the patch from MS. With regards
to the Game folder in the Start menu, I never realized that Vista had
this as I was still expecting the games to create shortcuts on the
desktop after I installed them... Well COD4 did but not Crysis, Bioshock
and GoW. GoW however was the only game that failed to launch from the
DVD.

I had to create shortcuts on my desktop manually by dragging those
icons inside the Games Folder and choosing to creat a shortcut option.

The only reason I can See microsoft would include a games folder is to
follow fashion with the documents, pictures and other folders that are
used alot. It also helps to free some of the workbench icons. Not all
games automatically put icons in the game folder. When I have installed
some games I have had to creat a shortcut there. GoW and Crysis are the
only games that put an icon there for you that I have come across.

the GoW general chat on the epic forums http://forums.epicgames.com is
full of posts about the wargame-g4wlive.exe crashes. It seems it's the
games for windows live component (i.e. microsoft's fault) that causes
the trouble, but it hasn't stopped the constant stream of hate towards
epic.

GoW is both dx 9 and 10. DX10 doesn't yield any differences other than
getting slower frame rates. Hardocp tested this and there weren't any
visual differences.

Yep, I myself am running GoW in DX9 mode in order to squeeze the most
fps out of the game. Graphics still looks awesome in DX9 mode.

From the MS Gears of War Website:

-“Gears of War” includes a free and unlimited Silver
Membership to the Games for Windows – LIVE service that includes
online play, personalized profiles, a unified Friends List, in-game
voice chat, and the ability to unlock single-player achievements.-

To summarize - Silver Membership is free. I myself am still
playing/enjoying the single player mode and have not had to create any
Live account. I did have to create a local account in order for the game
checkpoints to be saved.

I'm having a problem just installing GOW. When the installer starts I get
the error message: "Error Applying Transforms". Any ideas? Also, why can't I
start a question? When I click on New Question the computer just beeps but no
window comes up. I can only reply to those already posted.
