Re: games install but wont play! "Larry Maturo" <lmaturo[ at ]imceda.com> 12.07.2007 20:32:20 You might try uninstalling the ones that don't work, and then try installing them in admin mode, by right clicking on the .msi file and selecting run as admin. I have heard that sometimes helps. I'm suspecting that the install may not have installed the INI file because of permisssion problems, and thus the exe can't find it. -- Larry Maturo "flick" <flick[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:3C14DD2B-53BC-4B5E-9E62-41021A6ED13D[ at ]microsoft.com...
