When I originaaly updated to Vista Home Premium the games folder worked fine
Now when I try to run a game it says that I have to Set Associations
I've tried turning the games on and off, rebooting and so forth
Anyone else had this problem or a solution for it
Thanks
 
I got the same problem. but if i start my laptop and press f8 i have the
option to return system to factory settings so i might do that. i gna hav 2
install all drivers agen tho :(
 
I tried this suggestion (along with all the rest I've read on this problem)
and I still get the same error message. I still can't get any of the games
icons to work.
