Windows Vista HELP

Question

I've just bought an Inspiron E1705 and it came with Windows Vista. Can I still play my pc games on it? If so how?   Thanks a Bunch Crystal

Yes most games will work just fine in Vista.   How? Install the game in Vista. Just like you did on your old computer.   pcgeek11

If a game does not run properly right click the 'exe'/Properties/Compatibility and set the compatibility as XP

Crystal,   An example Lets say the game is Solitaire. Go to the folder where Solitaire is stored and look for a file called solitaire.exe   Right click on it and select Properties Click on the 'Compatibility' tab at the top Put a check at 'Run this program in compatibility mode' In the box underneath select XP or whatever operating system you used before to play the game
