Basically theyve been deleted and I want them back.

Does anyone know how to get them back?

I still have 'games explorer' but when i open i get the pictures of games but i cant play them, i double click and nothing happens. Ive taken screenshot of right cick.

Re: Vista Games gone

Have a look at an earlier shadow with Shadow Explorer ( ShadowExplorer.com - About ). Maybe you can find and recover them. If you found them, right click on the folder > Export.

Re: Vista Games gone

Hi , I will ask you to do this in case you uninstall the games
1. Start--->Control Panel-->
2. Choose: Classic View
3. See where is Programs and Features
4. Click-->Programs and Features-->
5. Next, see in your left side Turn Windows features on or off
6. Click, Turn Windows features on or off-->
7. You will see A Folder called Games
8. Select the Games that you want to be install
9. Take a look @ this :-->
10. http://i31.tinypic.com/73fr4k.jpg
11. Click OK
12. If this did not help try a second time to install them, it may work if
you give it a second try.

Hope it help
