Vista - Issues with built-in games

Hi, I run Vista Business 64-bit ("clean" install a week ago) and am having
troubles with some of the built-in games.

Games having trouble:
FreeCell
Mahjong Titans
Minesweeper
Purple Place
Solitaire
Spider Solitaire

Games working fine:
Chess Titans
InkBall

* I can't click on buttons in dialog-boxes within these games. I can dismiss
the dialog by clicking the X, but not when it's asking if I want to save the
game. In this case i need to use the keyboard to focus and click on a button.
* Menu flickers rapidly. When clicking on one menu, all menus shows and
flicker.
* I see mouse hovering effects on the wrong spots. I.e. the card next to the
one I have my cursor over.

In minesweeper I can't click on any of the buttons in the first column. All
other buttons work just fine. I see the "button down-effect" but nothing
happens.

What is the common denominator of the mentioned games and how can I fix it?
My drivers are up-to-date and I have not experienced any other kinds of
input/graphics issues with any other apps/games.

Hi, I'm having the exact same issues. I have also found that if I try
to move the window by dragging the title bar or if I try to resize the
window that it shakes wildly.

My original thoughts were that it was either the mouse or the graphics
card. My mouse is a 'Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse', and
my graphics card is an ATI Radeon x1600.

I tried replacing the mouse with another and still get the same issue,
so that probably isn't the issue. Also, I tried updating my graphics
drivers to the latest from ATI, but still had the problem. I then
rolled my driver back to the earliest driver I had (that was working
before SP1), but no luck.

If you find the cause of the problem, could you post it here? If I
find the solution, I will post it here myself.

Thanks
