Re: Where's the games???

Are you using Vista Business? If so, you can go into the control panel,
under Programs and Features. On the left panel, click on Add or Remove
Features. You can add the games from there.

If you are using another version of Vista, let us know, and we can see why
they are not showing up.

No, i am using vista home premium, so the games should be there, but the
games explorer is empy.

Re: Where's the games???

Did you try going to Programs and Features anyways, as suggested, and
clicking Add/Remove features?
