Vista Games

OK, games are the least of my worries. But I can't help wondering why the
games that "Help and Support" insists exist on this computer don't launch
when I click "Click here to launch". I'm running Vista Ultimate (Microsoft
upgrade) on a Dell E1705 laptop. I apparently don't even have plain jane
Solitaire . . . can't say I'm surprised, because EVERYTHING so far has been a
struggle, between Dell and Microsoft.

Re: Vista Games

Check to see whether the games have actually installed. Control Panel >
Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off. Check the 'games'
box, hit OK.
