So I can play solitare for the opening of the games.

I can't my games that come with the laptop for work. I click Start, all programs, games, then Explorer games. The icons come but they won't open so I can play. Below the icons of the games, I get the editor, developer and the type of information.  Help, please! Thank you

Hi CathyMartinez17

Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.

When you click on the Games folder, you see games listed there?  I do not have a "Games Explorer" folder, so I'm not familiar with that.

Do you receive error messages when you click on the ICONS for games?
Are you the owner of the computer?  I ask because if it's a computer for the family, for example, someone (Parents) can have Parental control settings and blocked games.

Lets try this to see if we can get one of the games to work.

Click Start
In the start search box type freecell - without pressing the Enter key or anything else, Freecell appears at the top of the list of programs?  If so either press ENTER key or click the Freecell top under programs.
The game opened upward?

You can also try browsing for the game and opening it like that (they're just troubleshooting steps to help determine where the problem is)

Right click on the Start Orb
Click on explore
Go to the following folder (be it by browsing to it or it by typing at the top)
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games
Open any folder, FreeCell for example.
Once inside the folder, double-click FreeCell
The game opens like this?

Please post back and let us know the results
