Where are Microsoft free games that were in Windows 7?

When I downloaded Windows 8 I lost access to all free Microsoft games that were in Windows 7.  I can't find the cards or Mahjong games unless I go to the store to buy.  There are free copies, but they come with all kinds of unwanted insects.  Does anyone know?

Hi DorothyRobinson,

If you take a look in the store, there are several available games.

You can go to your home screen by clicking in the lower left corner or press the Windows key, then go to the app Store.

Once in the store, you can search for apps by pressing Windows key + C and click on search in the bar of charms and then search for games from there.

I hope this helps!

  • Where are all the apps that were on my Apple TV?

    I just bought the newest gen Apple TV 4 and was surprised to see that my old Apple Tv apps were not available. No Netflix, National Geographic, Smithsonian, etc... They were part of the original Tv App. They are not part of the new TV App or am I missing something? I asked Siri to find Netflix and she said that I only had the app. Can I download everything I'm missing to have at my disposal? Looks like they would have kept the apps they had and included on the new Apple TV.

    Applications to use on ATV4 must be downloaded through the App Store you can find on the home screen of your ATV4. The ATV4 operating system is completely different from the operating system on ATV3.

  • Where are the saved files that someone sends you through Skype Windows8

    Hello

    I just bought a new computer that has windows 8 installed above and I must say that I was shocked when I realized that the system is like that running a pad that is so bad, if you want to actually work with the computer.

    Then, I installed Skype and was amazed that there is nothing that you can do with it. No video call?

    I use Skype to send files and make video calls. Now, when someone sends me a file I have no choice where this file is saved... Where are the files stored?

    OS: Windows 8

    Thank you

    type in your windows search bar

    '%AppData% '.
    then you will go to the folder "Skype".
    and there will be a folder with "my received files."

    STEP 2:

    In most cases if the games are deleted from the computer files will remain on the computer.

    I suggest that you are looking for game files in the system32 folder.

    Later, click on Start menu click on run and type c:\\windows\system32 in the following search of the window for the file of games like free cell. If you get the files in the system32 folder then copy the file to c:\\program files\start menu\ later in the game folder.

    STEP 3:
    If fails it above steps, try a system restore to the point when the game was available on the computer.
     
    See the link below to learn how to perform the system restore.

    Hello ryanw15,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community. The question you posted seems to be hardware related. Unfortunately, we are unable to help with changes to the hardware. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance.

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is higher. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. If you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have.

    1. Click to open the display settings.
    2. Under resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then click on apply.

    Note

    • When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on the computer.

    The resolution of your screen can be set to greater than 800 x 600. To change the screen resolution:

    1. Click on the Start button and select settings, then Control Panel.
    2. Open Display
    3. Click the tab settings (Ctrl + Tab with keyboard).
    4. Adjust the area of 800 x 600 or higher screen, and then click OK

    Note: If it is not possible to adjust the area of the screen, your monitor does not support this or you may need to change your drivers (see below).

    This should solve your problem.

    Let us know if these steps solve your problem.  I hope the information is useful.

  • I have just upgraded to Windows 7. We had all our photos in Windows Photo Gallery. Where are they? can we recover the Windows Photo Gallery?

    I just installed Windows 7 and I can't find the pictures I had in Windows Photo Gallery.  Where are they?  Is there a way I can still use the Windows Photo Gallery?

    Thanks for answer and sorry for not noticing that you have had so far.  Actually, I solved my problem by editing the registry and by associating file types .jpg and .jpeg image.  I think that the Viewer Windows Live Photo or other software that I installed messed up file associations and caused Media Center does not recognize files .jpg and .jpeg as an addition to the type library.

    I changed the settings in the registry as follows:

    1. under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, navigate to the key named .jpeg
    2 change the (default) string value so that the data field is "jpegfile" (without the "")
    3. Add a new string value named: 'Content Type' and together the data field "image/JPEG" (once again without the "")
    4. Add a new string value named: "Type perceived" and together the data in the field in 'image '.

    Do the same steps above for the key under HHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .jpg

    I don't remember if I needed to restart the computer or not for the changes to take effect.  I solved this by trial and error because I remembered having to add the same entry in the Media Center in Vista type to get files .mp4 playing in the video library.

  • Where are the startup programs that do not appear in the location listed?

    I have a program (called Wondershare) I thought I had uninstalled later. I was mopping up my start today and noticed Wondershare programs on the list of processes. I thought it was weird, so I looked at the command and followed by the location of the file to the location he listed but cannot find the folder, in what he says he is?

    Location it lists is C:\Program Files (x 86)-common Files\Wondershare\Wondershare Helper Compact... but in my folder common files, it does list no this folder under the name "Wondershare", and a search reveals nothing either?

    So where is this program Wondershare hid? And why it shows the path of incorrect file on my list of startup programs? And how do I remove it from the list of startup programs? (not turn it off, remove it from the list).

    Everything you see in the msconfig Startup tab can be found in the registry.

    Currently enabled elements (those with the box) can be found in one of two places.

    There is a section for the local COMPUTER, and there is a section for the currently connected USER.

    Startup items that apply to the local computer can be found here:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

    Startup items that apply to the currently logged-in user can be found here:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    You can specify which section of the registry the required are looking at the column location in msconfig.

    Startup enabled items will start with HKLM or HKCU (look at your example).

    So if I wanted to remove the entry currently enabled for an HP printer owned by the current USER (HKCU) I would do this in the Registry Editor:

    Since there is no cancellation or exit without saving the changes in Registry Editor, you should consider how you want to undo the changes if you make a mistake, and your system is working badly or not to initialize the next time it is restarted.

    Before registry settings to do this:

    Create a manual system restore point.

    Consider the backup of your registry with this free and popular tool:
