Have lost my games - solitaire, hearts etc and cannot find any trace of them. I managed to get my audio back after one disastrous session. Can anyone let me know how to access a download of the games please. Thank you.

Hello Gman, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You might double check in Windows Features to make sure that Games is checked. If it is, then uncheck it, click OK, then go back and check it again to see if it toggling off and on can restore them for you.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi

Thanks for the offered help - it did not do the trick as I think the games have been deleted from the system - where can another set be downloaded? Any answers are much appreciated.

Thanks

Gman,

Running a sfc /scannow may be able to restore them since they are considered system files.

Well, you can try a system restore back to efore they were deleted, if that is under 30 days ago.. Otherwise pretty much your only option would be reinstalling the OS. You won't find them on Google.
