• Can I play Xbox 360 games on my Windows Vista laptop?

  From: Scott

  I just got a new laptop because my old is dead and it is running vista and it has a socket to plug a x box 360 control in and theres all this hype x box 360 and vista together so I was wondering, that would happen if I stick a 360 game disc in the computer. so, what would I be able to play this match as if it were a x box 360 with a computer instead of a TV screen or it would destroy my laptop I need to know. I mean I'd be pised if I went and spent the money on a 360 and then discovered that I could have just played on my computer.

  To put it simply, can I play a box x / x box 360 game on my laptop.

  From: Dale M. White

  Simple answer No

  Longer answer, no. Xbox306 games are written for PowerPC, which if I remember correctly a RISC based chips and Intels\AMDs are CISC based chips.

  The excitement of Xbox360 and Vista, was more in the sense to implement the sharing of multimedia files and at some point, but always on paper. Set up the games between a PC and a Player X 360, through their Xbox live, to talk to inluce to link your xbox live with the X 360 has.

• How do I uninstall the game, InkBall of Windows Vista Tablet

  (2) to go to c: Program files microsoft games-->--> remove the inkball here itself

  Hope that this would be useful for you.

• Free games included with Windows Vista will not start.

  I tried to start one of the games for free in Windows Vista (Chess Titans, FreeCell, hearts, Mahjong Titans, Solitaire etc.) but I get an error measage: "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action.  Create an association in the Set Associaction Control Panel". {Error code: C:\User\Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\GamesExplorer\{00D8862B-6453-4957-A...}.
  These games, used to work until I have connected on the Microsoft web site and search for updates.

  I went to control panel default programs - programs - '-' associate a file or protocol type with a program, without success.

  Can anyone help or give advice as to re-download these games?

• Games-Solitaire-download Windows Vista

  From: erautenk

  I have Vista business, it came with no games installed, how/where can I find to download free?

  From: Jane C.

  Hello

  The games are included in Business, but they are not installed by default.

  Go to control panel, programs, programs and features, and then click 'Turn.

  Or disable Windows features"and put a check in the box of games.

• just bought ghostbusters game pc, but it is very slow on my WINDOWS VISTA Home premium... of suggestions?

  I installed the game ghostburters on windows vista Home premium with service Pack 1 and it runs very slowly, I tried the upgrade a few things bo nothing helps.

  whay can I do to improve the speed?

  Well, that may depend on how fast your computer is.  Games have the system requirements listed on the box or the Web site that you downloaded from.  Your computer should generally be at or better than the recommended settings.  Otherwise games will run slowly or not work.  If the game runs slow, in general, you can buy a graphics card faster to make it go more quickly, but it depends greatly on this kind of material you have in your computer now.
