• What happened to the default games?

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7, but since I switched from Windows Vista Ultimate 64 - bit of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, I was forced to reinstall and lose all my old programs. My only problem is that the default 'games' folder that came with the installation of Windows 7 is completely empty, other than "Game Explorer" which also has nothing in it. All previous versions of Windows, I've never had always put the default games like Solitair and Minsweeper. So is there a good reason I have none now? Is it meant to be like that? Y at - it an update I'm supposed to install? Y at - it somewhere that I can get the default value of games?

  Try this: Press Start > Control Panel > programs > Turn Windows features or disable > expand games > select the games you want to install.

• Windows Vista Ultimate default games (freecell, Minesweeper, Games Explorer, etc.) will not load or run.

  No error message is displayed.
  I tried:
  1. Uninstall and then reinstall the games through Control Panel.
  2. both UAC on and outside
  3. create a new user account

  IE8 and SP2 running

  chuck229,
  I suggest that try you a few things.  Try first disabled at boot and then see if you are able to start them.  If you still have a problem, and then run the System File Checker.  You can also run the error-checking on your disk drive. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Getting default standard games to work...

  I cleaned up a lot of junk out of my laptop, and I play Solitaire frequently... But I can't get ONE of my games default to open more.

  I cleaned up a lot of junk out of my laptop

  What "junk"? As the cleaning disc or just manually delete the files? I hope that nothing important :)

  I will try to reinstall the game. For this you need to press the Windows key and type of windows features. Something like "turn on or off windows features" should appear. Click on that. You should have the ability to disable or turn off the games. Go ahead and uncheck the box and click OK. After that he was disabled successfully, just turn it back on. I hope that re - installs the default game files.

  Can someone tell me please how install/activate the default games provided with Vista.

  Hi techdancer,

  Generally, this type of program should be set by step you did.
  I suggest you to run a check of system files on the computer.
  Please follow the steps below to the auditor of the filesystem as the first steps:
  1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  2. in the area of results, right-click cmd.exe, and then click Run as administrator. You will be asked to type the password for an administrator account. If you are the administrator or type the administrator password, click on continue. Then click on continue.
  3. at the command prompt, type Sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.
  Note: The scan may take a while, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista CD.

  Also check the availability of games to the following location:
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games
  C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games

  Let us know if cela heps.

  Thank you and best regards,

• No games after installing Windows 7

  Why don't have games installed on Windows 7 on the computer of my spouse (clean install of Windows 7)?  She plays games online, she wants just to return the ancient games of Vista.

  If you talk about the default games then you must press the Windows key, type in "windows features", and then click turn on or off windows features. Then in the window that appears, make sure the games box is checked and click OK. Games must return.
