About this tag
This tag covers issues with HP Games, a software bundle often preinstalled on HP computers and powered by Wild Tangent. Users report difficulty fully removing HP Games and Wild Tangent from Windows, even after uninstalling through the control panel, deleting program files, and editing the registry. Residual entries persist in the Start menu's all apps list, with labels like "all kids games" and "all enthusiast games." Other discussions mention that HP Games can interfere with system performance, such as causing Internet Explorer to slow down after playing a game. Troubleshooting steps include using the take ownership hack to delete protected folders and manually removing registry keys, but complete removal remains challenging.
