I did a full install of Vista Ultimate. I installed the Texas Hold'em card
game and it worked fine. I had to reformat my drive and reinstall everything.
However I was NOT offered any Ultimate Extras!!! Where can I find and install
the Texas Hold'em extra? thanks

Texas Hold'em is available for Windows Ultimate by visiting the Windows Update web site.

Carey,
Do you have a specific link? I went to the Windows Update page and it
doesn't show any available updates. thanks

And you're sure you don't have Hold'em in your game explorer?

Justin,
Not in there either, but thanks

You have to check for updates in the Windows Update explorer (Start > All
Programs > Windows Update > click "Check for updates" link), and will
download it as an optional update along with Bitlocker Encryption.

I remember some people having this problem when it was first released.
Maybe a failed download and now WU thinks it's installed?

Change your update address from "Microsoft update" to "Windows update".

I suspect you are not running Vista Ultimate, possibly Home Premium.

Whether or not his copy is activated is irrelevant.
If you have the Ultimate version and are still in the grace period,
you can download/install/use the Ultimate extras.

Vista Ultimate and it is activated. Like I said it worked when I originally
installed it. It was when I had to do a complete reinstall that the extras
weren't offered. thanks
