Real Arcade by Keils
I love playing Real arcade games but ever since I changed to Vista have not been able to download them. I get an error message about my cyber strength? Am thinking about installing IE6, but would it run on Vista and does anyone know if that would solve my problem? Any assistance would be gratefully received.

Glitch In Solitaire (Vista) by Torra
Sorry if this is in the wrong place or has alraedy been addressed, I looked for it, but after an hour of searching the site and the forums, it eaither hasn't been asked, or I've overlooked it. My copy of Solitaire seems to have a glitch, about 70% of the time, it dosn't reconise when the game is lost and ask if I'd like to end it, like it's suposed to. And the "hint" comand just has me...

A couple problems I'm having with default Vista games by Clarence
I've added the Games option to display as a menu for my start menu and everything worked great for a while. Now though, whenever I attempt to open a game, say Spider Solitaire or any other Vista default game, it never opens. The interesting thing is that the games open fine in Game Explorer. The game links also work if I open them through the Games folder in the All Programs menu. Is there a...

First Post by Ken[_2_]
Hi all, I am 43 and live in Wisconsin USA I have been hooked on PC shooters since Wolfenstein in the old 3.1 / 386 days. So far I have not ran into any major problems while running Vista with the games I play. I have been patiently waiting for Bioshock to arrive from Amazon. In the mean time I have been scaring the hell out of myself playing FEAR. I just started playing, so I don't know...

Company of Heroes - Patches? by Maureen[_2_]
Just wondering how the patches for COH work. There is a whole list of them (6 or 7). I've just installed the first on the list, which seemed to go okay. Do I just go through and install them all? Also, when playing the game it sometimes flips me back to my desktop. Should I be turning off all of the Windows Services when I play, and how do I do that? I turn off Windows Defender and...

Vista regular solitaire is bad!! by Sarah
After months of struggling with driver problems between Vista and Nvidia, my husband and I dumped Nvidia and got something else. We have spent hundreds of dollars in upgrades, e.g. LOTS of RAM. The only way Vista actually works properly, without having to "borrow" from other programs is to buy more RAM. Now, my current complaint is the new regular solitaire in Vista sucks! I thought it might...

filepath/permissions issue? by Tom
I'm trying to view some easter eggs in a game I own, which requires me to modify the .ini file for it. I did this in XP with no trouble, but Vista keeps telling me it can't create the filepath to save the modified file or that I don't have permission to modify this file. I've already adjusted the properties and "allowed" everything. Any other ideas?
