• Cannot run Microsoft games after upgrading Windows 8 Pro

  After you have installed Windows 8 Pro I found my old Microsoft games (Solitaire, etc.) in the Windows.old file and used successfully and Favorites to the start menu.  The next day (after several Windows updates) they would not start in the start menu or from the executable file in the Windows.old folder. Tried to restore the (only) listed restore point but received a message that it cannot restore.  Tried the troubleshooting of compatibility without success. Uninstall the updates and restarted the resolution of compatibility issues, with the same results.  Have right click on executable, open properties and set to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode and run as Administrator without success.  How can I get my games to run on this POS?

  You can get the old solitaire and other games back. See

  This was written for the new Windows 10, but it also applies to the

  Also note that as Chess software, Chess Titans plays very badly.
  There are several good choices like Deep Fritz and Rybka.

• I lost my favorite game, Solitaire.

  I lost my favorite game, Solitaire.  I did the suggested MS site, put in my Windows XP CD, went into Control Panel - Add and remove programs - Windows components - games - verified and installed (more than once!), but it is not yet to find anywhere.  I even searched it on the MS site for a download and no luck.  I have Spider solitaire but I prefer the classic game.  Help someone?  I also tried the system recovery.

  A parent has proposed the following:

  See if the game exists:
  C:\Windows\System32\
  --> Here you will find "sol.exe" (other games have other names)
  If you have found it, you just need to make a shortcut from startmenu, which isn't a big deal.

  Or:
  Start--> Run--> type in "sol.exe" (without the quotes, of course)

  It worked for me.  Thank you, David!

• I'm unable to download games, programs, etc from the internet.

  I'm unable to download games, programs, etc from the internet.  It started a year ago and I still have the problem.  I click on "Download", the dialog box appears, click "run" dialog box appears indicating the time to download, and then click "Run" and the dialog box disappears without ever finishing.  Anyone know what is happening, why and how resolve it.  Please keep in mind I'm not savvy with the computer language and need answers in the form of simple.  Thank you

  There is no way to accurately diagnose that lasts a year and with so little information. You should start by ensuring that the computer is free of viruses/malware:

  Post back with the results for further assistance.

  If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). If possible, have all your data backed up before taking the machine into a shop.

  Here in this scenario, you need to refresh your computer after the backup of your data. Refresh your PC reinstall Windows and keep your personal files and settings. It also keeps the applications provided with your PC and applications that you have installed in the Windows store.

• Renamed: Remove WindowsOS games (Spades, Solitaire, etc..)

  Hi guys,.
  I have vista home premium... I accidentally deleted my system games! where can I get these games! pls guys that I need help!

  Hey influential:

  I assume you mean games that come "installed" with Vista - Solitaire, Purble Place, etc.  If so, you will need to add the games back to your system through Windows.

  1. open the "Control Panel" on your computer.
  2. open the "program and features" since in the control panel.
  3. under "Tasks" in the left pane, click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
  4 check the box of "Games" in the "Windows Features" window.
  5. your machine should begin to install all Windows embedded games.

  Let me know if it solves your problem.
