Hi all

I recently reinstalled Vista Home Premuim on to my Laptop after
crash. But the games folder is missing. It normally contains soiltair
inkball, hearts etc

Its not installed on the machine, I have copied the Microsoft Game
folder from Program files of another vista machine. But the games won
run, how can I go about installing them

Many Thank

Dav

Did you try Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> turn Windows Features
on and Off -> Games
?

Hi,

Yes I've tried that Games does not appear in there. The games folder
has not been installed for some reason??? How can I go about getting it?
Thanks

If it doesn't appear at the top of the list inside of the "Windows Features"
popup window, I don't know what to tell you. Anyone else?
By the way, I noticed my instructions were for the classic view of control
panel, but from what you're writing it sounds like you got there anyway.

Either he's using a customized ISO from a non-legit source or he has a version of Vista that no one else on this earth has.

The only thing that can help him is a re-install with a real disc.
