Cheeze,

Are you logged on to Vista with an Administrator or account with Administrator rights? Were those games previously installed and working on Vista? Was the PC upgraded from XP to Vista? Are the games you're trying to install compatible with Vista? I ask because not all XP compatible software runs on Vista.

What is the make/model of your PC? Have you recently installed any updates, software, hardware or new drivers on this PC?

If something WAS working and has STOPPED working - it's because something has changed. Answering these questions will help us understand what's going on and allow us to give you more educated advice.
