    OK, Who took out the games?


    So I just installed my Windows 7 Pro 64bit and discovered that there are no "standard" little games included. What happened to the card game, chess and the others??? Bummer. Should I be pissed or is there something I missed?

    I think they are only included in the Ultimate edition; but you can download them from MS.

    My games were also turned off by default when I did a clean install of windows 7 x64 Pro

    it was easy to turn the games feature back on, it's explained here

    SleeStak is correct. I think you go to Control Panel > Programs > Windows Components to enable the games

    Edit: ooops Windows Features to enable games
