Hi,

Is there a way to get Backgammon and the other online-games from XP to run 
in Vista?

Install them into Vista, and they'll run.

If you don't have the original installations try http://zone.msn.com.

Really? I guess that you mean it's possible if I have the original XP 
installation CD, But how do I install the games from that?

You don´t need to install anything there.
Backgammon and some other games from XP are simple links to MSN Gaming Zone.
To play them in Vista, just go to
www.zone.msn.com

No, it's not the same. In XP there is no separate login, no slow web 
inteface and not that many dialogs to go through...

I've searched the support section and it looks like we are out of luck - 
bummer!!!

If anyone knows a direct way to play the old XP games, please post the 
instructions here.  I went to zone.msn and it just takes you to their online 
game, not the game we are used to...

I may have to go back to XP.  I'm not seeing the advantage of keeping Vista...

Is it possible once I network my systems throughout my house<just got 
everything installed on the 2 new ones and wireless connections working> to 
use the link from my son's XP computer through the network...how would I go 
about doing that if it is possible?

Don't know about this vista!!  Just bought new ink cartridges and now my 
software for my printer won't work with vista...but the worst is I am going 
through Backgammon withdrawl here!!!
