microsoft windows vista games stopped working??
Hi everyone.
I just got a new laptop computer couple months ago and im really happy with it. It is running windows vista. The other night i tried to play microsofts games (chess, solitaire, minesweep) and none of the games would execute. does anybody have any suggestion of why that might happen and how I can get it working again? I can't do a system restore because i didnt set a restore point until now so it's too late. I was hoping somebody might have a better solution other than to reinstall my whole system again? |

There should be no need to re-install the whole system... You could try un-installing then re-installing the games by going to the control panel, selecting "programs and features" then "turn windows features on or off" in the left pane Hope it helps === All the Best Katy Pluta, G4W MVP Visit Project Magenta! www.simpm.com |

Hi Mike,
Do any of your other games work on your computer at all? None of my games work I tried reinstalling the games and that did not work either. It just give me the error of: "Executable for Chess Game has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Does this for all my games. Can anybody solve this problem?? I miss my games!Lol.

microsoft windows vista games stopped working??
Hi there,
Chess titans works for a while before it stops, ink ball seems to be working ok but all the rest dont even load up. The only game that works 100% ok is the Hold em game for vista ultimate that i downloaed off the Ultimate Extras update. I have exactly the same error as you with my games and i am at a loss. I did extract this from my event log if it helps anyone diagnose the problem Faulting application FreeCell.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b878, faulting module FreeCell.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b878, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0006ba0c, process id 0xd3c, application start time 0x01c7764239ce3573. Hope some one out there can help us! "mfink81" wrote: Hi Mike, Do any of your other games work on your computer at all?

Hi Mike,
that's great news! Although, for me, i am having a hard time finding an update for my graphics card. I have Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 and it seems that I can't find an update on the nvidia site. Ive found the 6150 site but no updates for drivers on the site? Any suggestions on how i could find the updates? "Mike" wrote: I have now got mine working!
