Hi all, I recently reinstalled Vista Home Premuim on to my Laptop after a 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 Games folder from Program files of another vista machine. But the games wont run, how can I go about installing them? Many Thanks Dave -- flashsnaps
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 -- flashsnaps
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.
