Game Updates issue

Oh. See I didn't realize that. This is my first time using Vista and there
was a link to "update" the games on the window, so I tried.
Thanks for the help

You could use GameShadow. Running it will check ALL your games for updates
for you. You'll need to Google for it as I'm too lazy atm to find out where
I got it

Could you please be specific which games you mean? If your reference to 'Mahjong Titans and others' refers to the Games that come pre-installed with Vista, Shane is right. Those games are complete, and do not require updates.

Mind taking a screenshot showing this?

I opened up the game and I'm not seeing this at all so it has me curious.

i also have problems with software i purchased before i acquired vista i do
not seem to have similar issues with others and i am frustrated with the
incompatibility of software that worked well before on "xp or me". my game
scrabble , the purchased software in not compatible with vista. i emailed the
manufacturer and there is no compatible downloadable software. even the yahoo
game scrable does not work. it is incompatible.

You bought a game, then you bought an operating system with which it is
incompatible. You could probably have checked compatibility beforehand.
"What to do"? - not much: not play the game! There's no god-given right to
play it... Try getting a refund on your "acquired" Vista if you don't want
it.

didn't check first) and I can't get my car in. What to do?" Move house
again, get a new car, or don't park it!
