hi guys,
it was Calico here (http://www.eightforums.com/gaming/5798-how-make-windows-8-work-ms-games-previous-versions.html) who pointed some of us in the right direction on how to use Win 7 X32 games in the previous releases of Win 8.
Over here the 4 users like Win 8, that aside, but my wife and daughter wants the old MS games back.
So i tried yesterday to follow the instructions you see in the URL above.
It did not work yesterday, so i retried this morning on our spare machine, and yes, i have the old games back and working on a Win 8 X64 machine.
I just copied then the MS Games file to the 32 bit Win 8 laptop, in the Program Files, since it is X86.
so no install and nothing is found in Program & Features.
Both machines work with the old Spider Solitaire, BUT i cannot get it to work on both other Win 8 X64 machines.
So any help is welcome here, whatever i do, it does not work.
thanks
Jeff
