Vista Games Error

[nealdave]

Hi, I've only had this PC for a couple of weeks, and the Vista games
(Minesweeper, Solitaire, etc.) have worked just fine. Recently though, I get
an error every time I try to start one of them. For example, with Solitaire,
I get:

"Executable for Solitaire Game has stopped working"

Hi,

I had a problem too. What went wrong with my games was that I updated my ATI
graphic driver and all the games, media player and media centre would not
work. So I unistalled this driver and installed the WDDM (Windows Driver
Display Model) and everything now works fine.
I dont know what graphic driver you are using, but this worked fine for me.
