Vista - Can't Turn Games On

Can't Turn Games On

Running Vista 32bit Business Edition.
When I Go to Control Pannel, Turn on Windows Features, a box comes up with
different selection box's. I choose Games (or any other for that matter) and
it starts to load (or I think it does).
Then an error message is displayed:- "An error has occured. Not all of the
features were successfully changed." As a matter of fact nothing had changed.
I have looked on the forum and no one seems to have this problem.
I have also tried it with the Vista Disc in but no good.
Any ideas?

Re: Can't Turn Games On

Hi,
What setup have you got? In particular what Graphics Card are you using?

Re: Can't Turn Games On

You could try updating your graphics drivers from NVIDIA- and do a Windows
Update.

Re: Can't Turn Games On

Yep. Tried that but still no joy.
My mate had same problem and did a re-load of vista and it worked.
May try that if I get desperate.
