I've just recently installed windows vista home premium, and the usual games
(solitaire, spider solitaire, minesweeper etc) are nowhere to be found. I've
gone into programs and features and clicked on turn windows features on or
off, but games are not in there either. Anyone know how I can get these?

Those XP games are MSN Games. They didn't port them to
Vi$ta because there is possibly a copyright issue.

If you must play them in Vi$ta, how about using VMWare or
Virtual PC to run a 32-bit XP within Vi4ta? :)

Eh, course they are Vista games and are included with Vista. It is strange
that they aren't there though Corey, Vista Business doesn't have them and
has to be installed the way you have done, how ever home premium does have
them as default.
 
Was a full install actually, I have no idea why I didnt use the upgrade??!!
Took me all bloody day to reinstall all of my programs that were previously
running with XP. I've tried almost every possible solution I can find on the
web, but I still cant get hold of those games.
 
That is very odd Corey. I have Windows Vista Home Premium on my Laptop and
it came with all of those games plus some. Maybe it has something to do
with purchasing the OS individually and installing in lieu of purchasing a
Computer with the OS pre installed.

I think i mis-interpreted his problem. I was thinking
about Internet Hearts, Internet Checkers, those great
MSN games in WinXP. Vi$ta refuse to load them ....
