Can not open Vista games. Please help me.

Sorry of this naive question. I just started with V64.
Can not open any original game what came with Vista.
When I go to Start-->Games = see "Games Explorer" only, not list of games.
When open "Games Explorer" see all 9 games. One click on game= see rating of
game. Two click = see "Saved Games" screen but can not open game.
Will appreciate any comments.
Thanks

Double-click it faster.

If that's not working then right-click and select "Play"

No problem

Hmm it sounds like they actually aren't installed properly then.

In the Control Panel click on the Programs link and select "Turn Windows
features on or off" and "uninstall" and reinstall the games.

Hopefully that should fix it
