I just got a HP computer with Windows Vista Business, and there don't seem to be any built-in games?

I just got a HP computer with Windows Vista Business, and there don't seem to be any built-in games! (Yes, I realize it's supposed to be a business computer, but I'm the boss and I want games! ) Is this functionality that Microsoft took out of the Business edition, or has HP done something wacky?

While there don't appear to be any built-in games, there is a link to "My HP Game Console" which isn't anything I'm interested in. (It appears you can only play those online, they're graphics intensive and filled with needless bells and whistles, and I often use my laptop in places where there's no online access, so I want to be able to play offline. ) I'm really just looking for Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Free Cell...that kind of stuff.

Anyone know how to find it/get it back in Windows Vista Business? Thanks! Asked by chgoeditor 58 months ago Similar questions: HP computer Windows Vista Business built in games Computers > Software.

Certain other features are turned on by default, but you can turn them off if you don’t use them. In earlier versions of Windows, to turn a feature off you had to uninstall it completely from your computer.In this version of Windows, the features remain stored on your hard disk, so you can turn them back on if you want to.

They are there - just hidden. Contrary to popular belief, ALL versions of Vista come with the standard games. They are hidden on the Business and Enterprise editions, presumably to stop lost productivity.To install the games in Vista Business: Click on the Start button, then go to Control Panel.

Click on the icon Programs and Features. Look to the left of the screen for Turn Windows Features On or Off. Select this option and then accept the Users Account Control.

Look through the listing and and find Games. Place a check mark next to Games and click OK. That should get them listed in your Start menu... enjoy!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
