Uninstall downloaded games

I just got this computer with vista and downloaded games for my daughter but under my name and not hers now I want to install them under his name and not mine. the computer I used had vista so do not know what to do

My answer:
 
Hello Ladyyy68,

Thank you for choosing Microsoft answers forum for windows vista.

You have two options.

One is to connect to the user account of your daughter and download the games you want.

Second is to copy the downloaded games to your account to any external hard drive, then connect to your daughter's account and download games...

Kind regards

  • Is there a risk when you download games?

    On my att.net homepage are offers of downloadable games, like Sherlock Holmes or murder she wrote, etc..  They offer a free trial, but in the agreement, we are aware that even after you uninstall the game from our computer, some files remain in the registry.

    Hello

    Welcome.

    To resolve this problem, you must install the Windows Installer Cleanup utility as administrator. To do this, right click on the Setup file (msicuu2.exe) and choose Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    All the best!

He says that there is a file that is 4 KB, which makes my computer think it is always installed, but I don't know what the file is to delete for me to reinstall the game itself. Any advice on how to fix this? I have Windows Vista 64 bit

  • Can I download games on my drive hard (e)

    Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice. I received my new HP Phoenix h9 1040 computer yesterday, 99.6 GB os C car and a 2 TB datedrive1 E drive. I wonder as I play mainly games on the desktop, I'll be able to download games on the E drive and how? As I tried to install a game last night on the E in car, then an expansion for the game kit, it came with a message that could cause the disk to become unstable. Of course, I did something wrong and would like to know how... If I can download games on my E drive because I hardly have any room on my C left disc.

    Thank you.

    Emkins wrote: Hello, thanks, I understand some of the information that you and some of them confused hehe! Yes, you are right with the specifications of the system. OK, I understand that you must change the value by default when you download a game on drive E, the only thing that confuses me is when I click on the E drive, theres no folder to place me games like you have your files on the C drive. Its all very confusing to me, but I hope I do it in the end, if theres any other information on how to proceed would be useful, but many thanks for the information you have given to me already. Thank you.

    Hello Emkins, very probably wouldn't no matter what folder on drive E: If you have not installed the applications on this drive. You can see a system folder, which would by default, that you can not or should not try to access...

    You can go on the E: drive and create a Program Files folder, as it is on the C: drive and install new applications in this folder. Applications that are 64 bit x must be installed in this folder. If you have applications that are x 86 (32 bit) you must create a folder on the E: drive in Program Files (x 86) and install all x 86 (32-bit) applications in this folder. It is the way in which these programs are installed by default in the C: drive. If you do not create the Program Files folder and the Program Files (x 86) folder, any application that you install on the E: drive creates a folder in its own name. Make the program files files and that the path for the installation of these files to ensure that they all settle in these records and you would not have enforcement records showing on the E: directory tree.

    If you have already installed games or other applications on the C: drive, you can uninstall the C: drive and reinstall them on the E: drive, in the Program Files folder or the Program Files (x 86) folder that you created manually on the E: drive. This free capacity on the C: drive.

    If you have a game that you play, more than others, you might be able to leave it on the C: drive. This should give you the best performance if it were installed on the E: drive, since the E: drive is a flat disc.

    Whenever I have to download a new game, I get the message "file not found". Games Download fine on my other computer, but I would like to be able to use this computer also because of the convenience of not having moved.

    Hi buzzyh51,

    In the meantime, follow the steps below.
     
    Method 1:
     
    Temporarily disable any security software and then try to install the game, follow the steps mentioned below
     

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Method 2:
     
    Turn off the User Account Control (UAC) and then try to install the games.

    Access this link to turn off UAC: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-User-Account-Control-on-or-off

     
    Note: User Account Control (UAC) can help prevent your computer from unauthorized changes. UAC notifies you when changes will be made to your computer that require administrator-level permissions. These types of changes can affect the security of your computer or can affect settings for other people who use the computer. We recommend that you leave UAC to help your computer course.
     
    Method 3:
     
    Put your machine in a clean boot State and try to install the game and check what is happening.

  • Download games is not full screen?

    I just upgraded to windows vista have a download game called Navy full screen will become not. It lags and stops working every few minutes or so and although the screen around the game window is black, the game occupies only a small part. What can I do to fix this?

    The black part of the screen means that the game runs at a different resolution to your desktop. You can either set for your parts of game your resolution of the office or you can try and find the option "turn off the aspect ratio" in your settings. If you do this, however, your graphics card will look funny and tense, but it is your call to make.

    Regarding the game Crash, I really don't know anything then I'd go to their forum for any problems with crashing. What you can do, is make sure that your DirectX is up to date, make sure you have the latest .NET framework and also ensure that all of your drivers, especially for your video card, are updated.

    Good luck.
