I installed a new 80GB Hitachi hard drive in my prior notebook (a P4 AMAX 15.4" unit) today. It was a Valentine's Day present for Laura. I replaced this notebook with a 17" widescreen HP a month or so ago, when the 40GB IBM hard drive died in the AMAX notebook.
I installed Microsoft Windows Vista Business and Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise, and several other applications. Laura was very pleased with this. Tomorrow, we shall have our Valentine's Day dinner--large rib eye steaks and giant prawns, marinated in extra-virgin olive oil, Tony Chachere's More Spice seasoning, minced garlic, and grated ginger, paired with a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
She was enjoying her notebook. I heard her groan and asked what was troubling her. She said, "Nothing." I replied, "Surely something has troubled you. What is it?" "Well," she said, "I recall hearing you say how enjoyable you found the Mah-Jongg game on your new notebook to be, and I looked for it on this notebook, and it is not there." I explained that her notebook--like her desktop--had Microsoft Windows Business, since I have a 10-installation license for that version. Microsoft apparently assumes that the Business edition should not include games. My notebook has Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate, and several games are available. She frowned. It is not good when she frowns. She said, "Can't you install Mah-Jongg on my new notebook?" I replied, "I shall investigate."
After a bit of prowling, I determined that the games included in Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate lurk in Microsoft Windows Vista Business! The games are, very simply, not enabled.
Here is the methodology for enabling the games:
1. Click Start
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Programs
4. Click Programs and Features
5. Select Windows features on or off from the left column
6. Accept the UAC
7. Check the Games checkbox
8. Click OK
Laura is smiling. This is good.
