Game Updates issue

I am trying to find updates for my games. I have searched all over and
cannot find any links to check for updates, etc. I have Windows Vista and
the games do not have any links to support. I have Mahjong Titans and
others.

Thanks

Re: Game Updates issue

Why are you looking for updates for the games?
They are complete and finished.

They don't have updates per se.

Re: Game Updates issue

Oh. See I didn't realize that. This is my first time using Vista and there
was a link to "update" the games on the window, so I tried.
Thanks for the help

You could use GameShadow. Running it will check ALL your games for updates
for you. You'll need to Google for it as I'm too lazy atm to find out where
I got it

Re: Game Updates issue

Mind taking a screenshot showing this?

I opened up the game and I'm not seeing this at all so it has me curious.

You bought a game, then you bought an operating system with which it is
incompatible. You could probably have checked compatibility beforehand.
"What to do"? - not much: not play the game! There's no god-given right to
play it... Try getting a refund on your "acquired" Vista if you don't want
it.

"I bought this car then moved house and the new garage is too small (which I
didn't check first) and I can't get my car in. What to do?" Move house
again, get a new car, or don't park it!
