    If I understand correctly, you installed Windows Vista (after a complete reformat), then installed 4 games, but the games aren't showing up in your Programs menu (under the Start menu). Is that right?

    First thing is check to see if the folders where you installed the games are still there. You should be able to navigate to them using Windows Explorer. Once there, run the games from their executables to make sure everything is working.

    If it is all good, then you should be able to make your own shortcuts of the games executables and add them to a games folder within the Programs menu.

    Regards,

    z.
