Vista - Not all installed games appear

Hi folks,

Something has always puzzled me, then again everything does lol but you know when you click on start and there is a Games button that you can use to play and manage your games? well when I install my games only some appear in there and its rather handy to see the ratings and such, not that I really follow it, but that is another story.

Back to my question, why do only a few games appear there, if anyone does'nt know what I mean, its the the screen which has a trophy icon on it and then the ratings etc.........I just find that only a few games appear there, but not all that I have installed, is this just a quirk of Vista? or is there something I can do to make it show all of them?

As I install alot of games, I would like them all to appear there, but am confused as to why not.

Hi,
Unfortunately not all games are supported by Games Explorer, and there's nothing you can do about it, except wait until MS adds them to their library

Hello Jekyll and Hyde!

Have a look at this article posted over at the new Windows Seven Forums.

Hi Ted,

Thanks for that, good to know, although I don't much look forward to DX11, I know it will be along time before I install that when it comes along, I was always told to wait awhile for any problems to be ironed out.

Hi Ted,

Well I ended up learning that the hard way, involving many late nights and painful days formatting and well I'm sure you know the drill
