Wheres the games?

[shillelagh]

Brother has bought a laptop with vista business on it.

Now hes had it for two weeks and today he asked me up for tea and i said i can have a play on his new laptop.

Well nice pics on it, crap music but i thought i'll have a look see and see what games they have on it - like spider solitaire, minesweeper etc. Could i find them - nope. So where are they? There is a separate games like xp has - and all there is there is an empty folder, looked in accessories nope even tried search - nope. Any ideas?

you don't have to have them installed or its even known for them to be thee without the shortcut being installed into teh start menu.

Its a business version remember so you shouldn't be playing games on it!

yes i know its business version but as he only got a copy of windows xp pro sp2 to downgrade it - no vista, oh and a copy of norton so where will i find it

find the apps in c:\windows or maybe C:\windows\system32

teh icons will be teh same but the filenames might not be too intuitive. If they aren't there try going to add/remove programs and do teh windows components. they might be listed under there
