Why can't I play Sega XBLA games?

I have Sonic the hedgehog and Golden Axe, both are part of Sega's "Vintage" series of Xbox Live Arcade games. I payed for them both in full, I even have acheivements for both of them (something you can't get unless you have the full version), but everytime I start them up it asks me to unlock to full version to play the whole game. When I go to download the full version again the same thing happens. I have never changed by HDD and I'm using the very same gamertag as I always have.

    Have you had your console replaced, due to a red ring or something else? if so, you gotta redownload all of your arcade games and DLC. If not i would try clearing your hard drives cache ( google will tell you how to do that). If that doesnt do the trick, try completely deleting them and redownloading. If worse comes to worse, call microsoft ( 1-800-4myxbox). They will have records of what you have paid for and should be able to help.
