I guess you know you are only going to get the games that comes with Win 7 ? To get the games menu on the right side of your start menu..... RIGHT click on Start and click properties/customize scroll down to games and click one of the first two options.
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.
