Vista Games Missing

Hi all,

I recently reinstalled Vista Home Premuim on to my Laptop after a crash. But the games folder is missing. It normally contains soiltair, inkball, hearts etc.

Its not installed on the machine, I have copied the Microsoft Games folder from Program files of another vista machine. But the games wont run, how can I go about installing them?

Many Thanks

Dave

Re: Vista Games Missing

Did you try Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> turn Windows Features
on and Off -> Games
?

Re: Vista Games Missing

If it doesn't appear at the top of the list inside of the "Windows Features"
popup window, I don't know what to tell you. Anyone else?
By the way, I noticed my instructions were for the classic view of control
panel, but from what you're writing it sounds like you got there anyway.

Re: Vista Games Missing

Either he's using a customized ISO from a non-legit source or he has a version of Vista that no one else on this earth has.

The only thing that can help him is a re-install with a real disc.
