Vista business games

Hi I have followed the intructions for turning on the windows games by going
to control panel then programs and turn windows features on or off. Once I
select that I want games I click ok. It then tells me to please wait while
features are configured. Then the box dissapears and nothing has ben
completed. Any ideas what is going wrong???

Thanks,
-Tim

That's all I did. The games Explorer does not appear on your Start Menu,
instead click the blue start button, then All Programs and look for the
Games folder.

You could also type in Solitaire into the search bar or Chess or "Games
Explorer" if you want an icon to the games explorer window.

Re: Vista business games

No good!

I have the games explorer but the windows games do not appear everytime I
open turn windows features on and off the games list is unchecked.
I also tried the search but the games did not come up

Reinstall Windows? Join an online gaming site like Gametap or Pogo or
Popcap, they have better versions of solitare anyways.

Sorry no idea how to fix problems with "Windows Features" features. Maybe
someone else will chime in.

Re: Vista business games

The inbox games setting for Windows Business/Enterprise is controlled by a
domain setting as well. Are you on a domain? Your system admin might have
turned it off...

No this PC is a personal laptop Vista business just came with it when I
purchased it. So it is not on a domain that I know of
