Can not open any V64 original game

stasioau · 07-02-2008

Sorry of this naive question. I just start with V64. Can not open any original game.
Start-->Games = see games explorer onl, not list of games.
When open Games Explorer see all 9 games. One click = see rating of game.
Two click = see Saved Games Screen.
Will appreciate any comments.
Thanks

Does your mouse function correctly every where else in Windows Explorer?

So far can not see any problems with mouse.

OK, let's try removing your games and then installing them again. You'll need your original Vista installation disc.

If you are using the new Control Panel:

Navigate to Start --> Control Panel --> Programs --> Programs and Features
Click on Turn Windows features on and off
If you have UAC enabled, click Continue
The Second entry is Games - uncheck all the sub entries under the Games folder (the easiest way is to leave the Games folder collapsed and simply check or uncheck it).
Reboot
Navigate to Start --> Control Panel --> Programs --> Programs and Features
Click on Turn Windows features on and off
If you have UAC enabled, click Continue
Check Games
Reboot
See if they work now.

If you are using the old Control Panel:

Navigate to Start --> Control Panel --> Programs and Features
Click on Turn Windows features on and off
If you have UAC enabled, click Continue
The Second entry is Games - uncheck all the sub entries under the Games folder (the easiest way is to leave the Games folder collapsed and simply check or uncheck it).
Reboot
Navigate to Start --> Control Panel --> Programs and Features
Click on Turn Windows features on and off
If you have UAC enabled, click Continue
Check Games
Reboot
See if they work now.
