Default Games not working

[rahiltg]

Hello,

I have installed original windows 7 64 bit on my machine. Installation was successful without any errors. The issue right now i am getting is that the default games like (solitare, freecell etc) are not working.

The game icon shows the red stop sign on it and while double clicking on it nothing happens. Some games even does not have the proper icon on it. It shows like its broken.

My least gaming index is 2.1. When i was using RC1, games were working fine with the same index value.

Let me know if any one knows how to fix it.

Thanks

That's a strange problem!

Can you try using the System File Checker command to see if there are any problems. There are some detailed instructions on it here : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833

1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.
2. Type the following command, and then press ENTER: sfc /scannow
   The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.
