| Guest | Disappearing Pre-loaded Games Small problem, all the pre-loaded vista games like Chess, Minesweeper etc have disappeared ! I cant be totally certain but I think this happened after an otherwise flawless "Anytime Upgrade" from Vista Business to Ultimate, the problem is I'm not entirely sure that Vista Business ever actually had them but I know they should be included with Ultimate. They havent been deleted, hidden or disabled by the performance checker because this particular machine clocks a reasonably healthy 5.9, anyway's any help greatly appreciated. UPDATE Hold 'Em poker has just appeared as part of an update download. (excuse my terrible spelling, to lazy to spellcheck) Thanks |

| Newbie | Re: Disappearing Pre-loaded Games Just found the definitive fixit for this problem.... Go to 'turn on/off windows features' and click all the games off. Then you must click OK at the bottom. Then shut down your PC. Start it back up, and go back to the 'turn windows features on...' and click all the games on again. Then you must click OK at the bottom again, and they will re-install automatically for you. I did it and it worked perfectly! |
