Hello

I have upgraded from XP to Vista but I have no games and no screensavers.

I had no sound but managed to get a Realtek driver to work.

Anyone got any ideas...any at all.

Vista won't give an option to install extra features...

Cheers

Which version of Vista did you install?
 
Could you give us some detailed information, like what type of system is
Vista installed on, laptop, desktop? integrated graphics, dedicated
graphics? How much RAM is in the system, have you checked for updated?
 
Its a Pentium dual core processor with 1 GB RAM

It a new system and I ran the upgrade advisor before I upgraded.

It's a desktop PC.

Nvidia card

I have run all of the updates.

The games folder is there...it just empty. The same with the screensavers.
The menu drops down when it supposed to, there are just no screensavers
listed.

Sound...I have to reinstall the driver everytime I restart the machine.
Vista wants to run digital sound I have to tell it to use analogue speakers.

Its a new Packard Bell PC with a free upgrade to Vista. Vista looks good but
does not work very well. Im tempted to go back to XP.
 
Google "Installing Windows Vista Games"

you will prolly need to install via add/remove programs and then windows
components
