Getting W7 games to work in W8

[pscowboy]

There used to be a patch that enabled the W7 stock games to work in W8. I'd say that was less than a year ago. It worked for my first W8 pc.

Microsoft.games.patcher.1.2-patch.exe

I just tried that on a new W8 install of mine and it didn't work this time.

Has anyone visited this?

Is there another work-around?

I love my Hearts and Spider Solitaire.

Hi
Now I know I don't have a soultion but I believe this question would be better asked at the windows 8 forums. You would be more likely to get help there since users on that forum own windows 8 them selves. Anyways I hope you're able to resolve your issue.

Link to the eightforums >> click the following blue link it should take you there. Many nice users that i'm sure are willing to help you out. Windows 8 Forums

Sorry!
You're right. And, I should know better. Contribute to both.
