Umm, sorry, but I have the *exact* same games - but some games are version dependent- for example, Poker is only available in Ultimate.

[EDIT: Added the following:]

I just thought of it - some of them may not have installed because of whatever reason - so do this:

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 - expand it (click the plus sign to the far left) and see if all the games underneath are checked. Check any that are unchecked.
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 - expand it (click the plus sign to the far left) and see if all the games underneath are checked. Check any that are unchecked.
Reboot
See if they work now.
