Hi Sydoz, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It sounds like DEP is disabled. Check using this tutorial to make sure that it is enabled again.

DEP - Enable or Disable


For the other problem, you might check in Windows Features to see if Spider Solitiare and others you wanted are checked (dotted) under Games.

Windows Features

Hope this helps,
Shawn
