Is there any known issue with Windows Vista Ultimate (Retail Ed. 32-bit) and
the ability to run applications shipped with windows vista? e.g. Solitaire.
Since day 1 most of the card games shipped with Ultimate have crashed on
startup when I try to launch them. While the little card games aren't really
that important I take it as an indicator that I cannot trust the PC running
Vista Ultimate to any serious tasks. Are there any known issues that might
result in these basic applications not functioning?
I'm running a clean install of the retail version on a standard Intel
Pentium D (65nm version) system with 2GB memory. The system is not
overclocked and the memory passes both memtest86 (run for 24 hours) and the
memory test tool shipped with vista.
It may be of note that the machine was running Windows XP without a problem
before it was wiped and had Vista placed on it. Additionally, Vista has been
re-installed a few times in a failed attempt to see if I had missed some
"critical option" at during installation.
Any help would be appreciated or a kick in the pants to the right place to
ask this question.
Thanks
