Vista - Missing Vista Games

Hello All

I just posted another question dealing with my Dell Dimension 9200 that came
with Vista Home installed. Only today my wife went to try out the games that
supposedly came with Vista - but the games folder is empty. Games Explorer is
there but when you open it, there is nothing inside.

My question is: I have a Vista CD that came with the machine from Dell. Does
the Vista DVD have a "repair" or "Install games" feature on it? I can't seem
to find one. When I put the DVD in the drive, it simply wants to install
vista. Seeing as it's already installed I'm a little reticent to do that. Any
suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Could try

Control Panel
Programs
Programs and Features / Turn Windows Features On on Off

and then select games if not already

Thank you. That solve it. Yet again my wife and grandsons can play games
*smile*. Your help was simple to follow and solved the problem immediately.
Thank you again for your help and time.

All the best
