I did a clean install and i can't get the games to work.. helpKen Hill

What are "the games". That is very vague.

windows games, like solitaire and stuffKen Hill

Hmm I didn't even bother to try them. I'm having problems with game games, like COD5.

i can't get solitaire or any windows games to work in the beta of windows 7, it tells me that there is no program associated. ie i doulble click the solitaire icon in game and this in the error message i get.Ken Hill

Windows games - working no prolems Cod5 -work with no problems for me Cod4 -not working multiplayer problem with punkbuster Cs source and left 4 dead - working no problemsUT 3 -work but cant install 1.3 pathGuitar Hero III-work with no problems

i tried installing Fable and my CD drive started making a very load and abnoxious sound. Though it does not make that for anything else.....Can't remember that when i installedon vista....

Sorry but they worked fine when I installed it. Are you using the 64bit or the 32bit version?

i couldnt make CoD4 work, until i installed nvidia latest drivers ( not windows update beta drivers ) now all my games works, even better than in Xp ( its true im not joking )This are the following games i have tested so far- Crysis- Crysis Warhead- Princes Of Persia- Mass Effect- Bioshock- Assassins Creed- WoW- of Course CoD4- And wolrd of goo xD lol awsome game btwMexico City // My Pc: Dell XPS 410 - Pentium D @ 2.8ghz - 3gb DDR2 Ram - nvidia 8400Gs

I installed the Windows 7 Beta 64 Bit version. I installed this on a machine that has 3 gig of ram, and an AMD 64 Dual Core processor Athlon.The Windows games like solitaire and all the rest of the windows games do not work. Is anyone else having this prob;lem?Ken Hill

I installed the 32 bit on a Dell 600m. Installation went flawlessly and everything seems to work except for MS games such as Solitaire. They'll actually lock up my laptop when I try to launch them. Ctrl-Alt-Del won't even work so I can't kill it, so I have to do a hard shut down.

My install on a Dell XPS M1710 was good. Windows games are good. But Ventrillo doesn't accept keys when not in focus (talk key doesn't work) and LoTRO has some graphical errors. Haven't tried much more, but so far it's not too good.

I have Win 7 64 bit installed. All the games work from the windows games folder in C drive but all the shortcuts are dead.

There is definitely a problem with the shortcuts being created in the Games directory inside the start menu. I had to recreate the shortcuts to my installed games since the auto made shortcuts don't seem to point to thecorrect target.Running Win7 x64 as well.

There are some video cards that are not compatible for windows 7 yet that is why games are mess uphttp://www.start64.com/

I'll throw an idea into the mix - using your add/remove programs and then windows programs and make sure the games are actually installed (yeah I know, if the short-cuts are there, they should be). Even if the files themselves are there on the hard-drive if registry entries weren't made properly then they'd likely not work.Good luck.Cheers.

If you getting kicked from COD4 for "unknown windows API" punkbuster kick, you can trythe following. It worked for me.run services.mscgo down to PnkbstrA and PnkbstrB services.in the properties of each one, under the Log ON tabwhere it says Local system account, there is an empty check boxlabeled "Allow service to interact with desktop" tick that box in both services.apply and restart your system.went from being kicked every 20 seconds, to playing a full match without a kick.

Punkbuster will not support Windows 7 until the final release, so you will just have to play on servers not running Punkbuster , or go back to Vista/XPhttp://www.punksbusted.com/forums/index.php?act=announce&f=1&id=26
