Games Folder

[Taz]

When I originaaly updated to Vista Home Premium the games folder worked fine
Now when I try to run a game it says that I have to Set Associations
I've tried turning the games on and off, rebooting and so forth
Anyone else had this problem or a solution for it
Thanks

I tried this suggestion (along with all the rest I've read on this problem)
and I still get the same error message. I still can't get any of the games
icons to work.
