games

Has anyone had problems starting Games?
Most of the games, including the two that I was interested in, Mahjong and Solitare, won't start. They quickly open and close a window. Too quickly to see what, if anything, it says.
I suspect that this is because I have a 32 Meg video card that won't support Aero Glass, but that's just a guess.
When I try to start the DVD program, it actually pops up a message block that says I can't run it because my video card does not support Aero Glass.
I hope that someone who does not have Aero Glass will try this to see what results they get, and that someone else who does have Aero Glass will also try it to see what results they get.
I have filled out a feedback report on this, but of course I was not able to say if it was connected to Aero Glass.

Hi,
What version of windows Vista do you use ? In my memories, there was a known bug with games launched using an administrator account. have you tried with a standard user ?

I am using Windows Vista Beta 2, x86, Build 5384.
I don't have a 64 bit processor.
I used the default user account, but I will create a standard user and try it.
Thanks.

They all work here fine on x64 suing the default account that I set up during Install(which is the system administrator) I have disabled UAC though.

I created a standard user and retried the games.
Chess Titans and InkBall load and play.
Free Cell, Hearts, Mahjong Titans, Mine Sweeper, Public Place, Solitare, and Spider Solitaire load whad looks like a Command Window, which closes after 1/2 to 1 second.

I would also guess that it is your video card. These pieces were rewritten to be pretty...probably taking advantage of the Aero Glass functionality.
Can you list system specs? Any "different" software you might have installed?

Your vid card doesn't even meet the min. system reqs for Vista..my guess is that's your culprit.
