    None of the games for Win 7 display


    I just installed Windows 7 Professional Upgrade as a new install (was already running the RC). None of the games installed and I don't see an option to get them back. The game explorer folder is empty as is the game folder. I went through the customize taskbar option to display menu items for games but nothing shows up. Help !!!

    I haven't installed my copy of Win7 Pro yet, but I think I remember hearing of this before. I believe the solution was to turn the games back on under Add/Remove Windows Features in the Control Panel (click on Programs in the CP, you should see the option to change Windows features on and off).
