That fixed the first part....
I got the games to appear in the start menu, but there NO games in the games explorer... Not even the basic games that supposed to come with windows 7... I have Windows 7 Ultimate on all 3 of my machines and this is the only one it messed up on. I would try to re-install it but it is a work computer with stuff on that I use everyday and I don't have the time to do a clean install once again, I barely made by with the first one.
