I was offered a free game from Microsoft for Windows XP called Match Up. I
downloaded it and installed it and now I can't find it. I looked in programs
and in games and it is not there. Is this just a tool for using an online
game and where is the game? Thanks for any help.
 
My guess=it's an ActiveX . Look at Objects where TIF is set in
Internet Opts.

Any advice is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
 
Mine is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Match-Up!, but I don't think that's
the default (I tend to put all my Microsoft stuff in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft).

Usually when you install a game from Microsoft, you get offered C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Games. Try that. If no go, the executable is MatchUp.exe.
You could try doing a search on that. If it's missing, the other files in
the folder are:

credits.txt
MatchUp.dll
MatchUp.ini

I'm assuming you don't have a shortcut in your start menu that you could
right-click on?

It's located exactly in the directory being selected during install.
By default: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Match-Up!

Nope, see above.
 
Thanks to all replies.... I did a search and nothing came up. No files with
that name. But I went looking in the Program on my drive and there was a
Microsoft file and I looked in there and voila! there were the files and I
found matchup.exe and I made a short cut and put it on my desktop. Now I can
find and play the game. So thanks guys, I really appreciate your help. I
just found this blog today and wow! what a great help. : ) Thanks again Jo

You're certainly welcome Jo.
 
I don't know whatever happend to MS Wish, but I think MatchUp would be more
useful if you could pair pictures when assigning them, so that it's not just
finding pictures that are identical, but are similar. I would then add 2
modes: Hidden (as it is) and Open. Open would have all the pictures
revealed, but the challenge would be associating the different pictures
properly. That's really a completely different game, but it could probably be
piggy backed on MatchUp easier than creating from new. It has educational
implications...
