Re: My Windows Vista won't play any games, why?

Are the games "Made for Vista" or are they earlier versions for XP or even
Windows 2000?

Have you updated all your drivers for hardware - e.g. video card and have
the correct DirectX version? Re-read the requirements for the games; they
might run under Vista, but most of all, software depends on compatible
hardware to run such as sufficient RAM, video memory, processor speed etc.

Have you tried a forum associated with the specific game(s) you're running,
or are you talking about the games included in Windows - solitaire, Mine
Sweeper and so on?
