    Hi
    Running Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop with Vista Home Edition; the preinstalled games like Spider Solitaire, Mahjonng and Hearts have been working fine for last few days (system is under a week old), but now when trying to open them up, they are not loading.
    The only software downloads I have done is the Windows Updates and McAfee Virus Updates.
    How can I reload these games?

    Hi

    You can try and re-load via Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features and click the Turn Windows Features on or off

    But its likely something 3rd party and a tweaking application or toolbar has broken them loading, so what software have you installed?

    The only software was Microsoft Updates - security,framework etc as prompted from MS. The other ones were McAfee updates. No other software has been d/l as the games were pre-installed. :)
