I bought some "Games for Vista" softwares and installed it to my computer for some fun. But neither of them appeared in the Games folder. As I dragged up the executable files of installed games to the Games folder, it showed messy icons that cannot be customized.
Is there a chance to fix this? Or really Vista want some fart out of it?

If you are talking about the Games Explorer then here is how to change the icon:
1. Right click on an item and click Customize.
2. Click Edit.
3. Click Change Icon.
4. Browse for an icon and click ok.
5. Click ok and click close.

What do you mean by "the info cannot be showed"? Did you get an error message?

While you are on the games subject....I have managed to wipe the original games from vista. For e.g. the chess game.
Is there some place that i can find these games I have accidently erased and reinstall them.
