Sorry of this naive question. I just started with V64.
Can not open any original game what came with Vista.
When I go to Start-->Games = see "Games Explorer" only, not list of games.
When open "Games Explorer" see all 9 games. One click on game= see rating of
game. Two click = see "Saved Games" screen but can not open game.
Will appreciate any comments.
Thanks

Double-click it faster.

If that's not working then right-click and select "Play"

Thank you Shane.
When I open "Games Explorer" I see 9 games. Right-clic on games show
me:Saved Games,Copy,Pin to Start Menu,Add to Quick Lunch,Customize,Hide this
game. Ther is no "play". Under Customize is "Play command 1" up to Play
command 5 (Unused).

No problem Smile

Hmm it sounds like they actually aren't installed properly then.

In the Control Panel click on the Programs link and select "Turn Windows
features on or off" and "uninstall" and reinstall the games.

Hopefully that should fix it Smile
