    In my case I'm using an Acer tablet with 30GB SSD drive and only 2GB memory so I'm not sure moving to x64 would be of any benefit to me.

    Installation failed on x86.
    The installer couldn't create games folder in program files or on c:\drive.
    There is no games

    Question??

    Hi Maya, Great Post! and the Uninstaller is nice feature also, Working good on Win8 8400 64-bit, You think you could include HoldEm in next version 1.3? see link below..mintywhite.com/images/wg/rsvr85/HoldEm.zip

    Oh, 1 thing I noticed not a biggie and you probably already know this but the Games folder in the start programs is missing the shortcut for Mahjong Titans

    Hi Maya,
    When i try to install this software, i am getting following message.
    "Microsoft Games for Windows 8 X86 was interrupted before your new software was fully installed. You can rerun this installation at another time to complete the setup of this software"

    I am using Windows 8 Release Preview with Media Center Evalution copy. Build 8400.
