What happened to XP's Internet Reversi and other Internet games? by Digital Puer
Hello. XP used used to have five built-in Internet-enabled board games (Reversi, Spades, Backgammon, Checkers, and Hearts). Apparently they are not available in Vista. I also checked on Zone.com, but they are not there. There is a version where you can play these games with the instant-messaging client, but I want to be able to play against random people on the Internet like I used to with...

AOE 1 & 2 and Starcraft graphics not displaying properly by Chuck Knuth
I recently purchased a Gateway Core 2 Quad w/3Gb memory, Vista Home Premium (32bit), & a NVidia 8500 GT card. I am happy with all of this (obviously - I upgraded from a Pentium 2 w/Win 98!), so I'm totally new to the Vista O/S. My games from the old computer ran perfect (albeit slow!) - AOM runs great on this box, and all the graphics on AOE 1 & 2 are fine.... except when I get into the...

For example, the initial load screen of Brood War that displays Kerrigan, DuGalle and Artanis, there are pixels of different colours everywhere, causing discoloration all over the screen. On the screen where you choose the campaign to play, the background is supposed to be black...
