Windows 10, Microsoft Store, Mahjong Ultimate Collection used to only have 2 normal small ads on the bottom right, but now it has a HUGE ad that takes up most of the screen. I cannot see the game I am playing, and it is obviously not supposed to be this way. It is not a resolution or driver...
Recently I have been getting random shut downs (crashes), especially when playing simple Mahjongg type games. These crashes are now becoming more frequent and are extremely annoying. I tried to test the system using FurMark stress tester and it immediately crashed the system.

I have Win 7 SP1 on a Lenovo Y580. The problem I am having is that I can only run some games, such as Mahjong Titans if I right click the Mahjong Icon and select Run as Administrator.
My account is an administrator account.
Any suggestions?
Hi all,
The heading says it all.
I have a legitimate new Win8Pro Upgrade dvd with serial.
Can I clean install Win8Pro with this from scratch, or do I have to upgrade over my existing Win7 Home Premium x64 Laptop?
After reading some posts on the forum I see that a clean install of Win8 would be...

When I try to open various tiles such a weather, Mah Jong, Solitaire etc. they simply freeze, or at best take forever to open. Is this the way Win8 is supposed to work? I see visions of Vista here.
Hi
I love the default games of Win7 (Mahjong, Solitair, Freecell).
But I can't get them on Win8. That's because Microsoft doesn't support my country.
Is there any way to download and install these free games on Win 8 other than from Xbox?
I have just upgraded to Win 7, 64 bit, and am trying to get an old Mahjong game working that my wife loves. It is from 1992 and it ran fine in Windows XP.
I have tried right clicking the .exe file and selecting older versions of Windows to run in to no avail.
Any suggestions would be...
