| | XP "All Programs" "Games" not available on Vista I can't find the games on Vista as above which are online (some) and very popular on XP. These games available on XP are as follows: Free Cell, Hearts, Internet Backgammon, Internet Checkers, Internet Hearts, Internet Reversi, Internet Spades, Minesweeper, Pinball, Solitaire, Spider Solitaire. It is possible for me to copy from XP C:\ Program Files\ "MSN Gaming Zone\Windows\numerous games .exe file" and run on Vista? If not is it possible to purchase this game set for Vista and use as on XP? Thanks for your help. Chris |

| | Re: XP "All Programs" "Games" not available on Vista What Vista version are you using? I have Vista Ultimate and it comes with all these games you mentioned. I am pretty sure that Vista Home Premium and up have them also.

Find Programs and Features in Control Panel Select Add Windows Features on the left Check Games Click OK Search the start menu for Games Explorer, you'll have to put a shortcut to it somewhere on your desktop or somewhere. Also if you search Google for any of those games you'll find like a ton of sites that offer free versions of these applications. I think you can login to Microsoft Zone online and play all those games as well, they don't call them casual for nothing. (Casual = More common than rocks) |

| Vista Ultimate 32bit | Re: XP "All Programs" "Games" not available on Vista Neil - There are five XP games that allow a user to play the games online with other users. Those five games do not appear to have been ported over to Vista in any of its 'flavors.' Anyone, anyone... |
