Vista games not functioning correctly

ok i have seen quite a few posts about vista games such as solitaire or
minesweeper being missing or not being able to start and there seems to be
fixes for those i however have an odd problem that i cant seem to get
resolved. i have the games i can open the games however when i do open the
games i get no picture/video if i open solitaire for instance the window pops
up and i can then move cards (i know this because i can get a score going and
the time goes) but i can not see the cards/ board same think with inkball
slightly different but equally
irritating is chess it just comes to the loading chess titans screen and sits
there indefinately please assist i am running vista home premium 32 bit thank
you in advance
