Vincent,
Thank you for your share. YES! on my 'GAM' PC I did see the
large rt-click menu at the 'Start Button.' Sadly, GAM's install of
W8.1pro-64 refuses to let me install the default M$ 'games.'
I'm not put off yet. I'll figure this out, perhaps. I am sure this PC's
OS install may be screwed up with 'M$ Activation,' and I am cluless
how to fix this. The PC runs 24/7 fine on its' new OS. It just drives me
crazy trying to add a Windows 'Feature.' I did upgrade the video drivers
on this PC this afternoon! No proplem! nVidia seems to have their act
together atm. Yes, I even allowed 'GForce Experience' this time!
ATM, this PC is fully operational on W8.1pro. Still my confusion remains.
I will watch and ask more questions. Write me into the 'Not Like' W8.1pro
column!
Thank you,
Duncan

Harry,
Thanks. OK. I get the 'type in....'. Where? My currently useless 'START'
button in W8.1 does not ever show
me a 'Runwindowwith a 'browse' option. I will play much more. Still
grappling with W8.1pro. More questions to
followI am sure. Know this. My OB was impressed with a share yousent
before. OB may contact you direct.
Please treat him as another 'Joe Public.'He is strange kind of 'joiner.'
Maybe this year he may join the HWG
Group. ................I can only hope.
Best,
Duncan

The name has changed, but it's still appwiz.cpl.
Click on the "start" button, and type in appwiz.cpl and you will get the
right utility.

Thane,
Thanks for the suggestion, however Add/Remove Programs/Add Windows
Component no longer appears in
Windows 7pro (32bit). I do recall this share from W2K and XP.
The good news is that Install must have copied and hidden all the
default 'games' to my c:\windows area. I did
some peek/poke in the control panel and did find a tool that opened a
list of stuff that allowed me to put a tick mark
for 'Games.' Sure enough, I now have them active and available once
again................................... :)
Once I have morning coffee working, I will check out my 2 Win8.1pro
machines!
Best,
Duncan

Thank you for any help you can share.
Hi Duncan,
Go to Add/Remove Programs and add Windows component.
