    Just got my Vaio Z yesterday.
    Booted it up and I don't see all the basic games there :(

    No Freecell, Hearts, Minesweeper~
    (Small matter but still important)

    All I see when i go to
    Start > Programs > Games
    - Games explorer

    then I select that and that's all!
    Nothing! :(

    Go to Control Panel, Programs and Features, select 'Turn Window features on or off" on the left pane and it will open a new window. Look at the second item "Games" on that new window; select the games you want to install! :)

    Good luck! :)
