Game executables not working in win 7 pro

[dfj]

When opening any Windows game in win 7 pro, the game opens and then a dialogue box opens and says that the game ececutable has stopped working.

Can this be repaired?

What game, what are your specs, how did you download said game?

These are the normal windows games that come with win 7 platform installation that reside in the "Games" folder.

They work in Win 7 Home Premeium but are not working in Win 7 Pro.

And did you install win7 pro over home premium?
Or is it a complete different install?

Two different machines, both factory installs.

Gateway, Win 7 hp; games work

Dell, Win 7 pro, games don't work via the icon exe but will work through Windows Media Center.
