Windows 7 Games problems?

I am using Windows 7 Professional 64bit and all the installed games such as 'FreeCell, Solitaire, Spider Solitaire and Hearts' are malfunctioning. They all 'flicker' to some extent particularly if I click on 'Game' in the top left corner, and will quite often freeze if I try to close them. Generally they just don't work. I have other games installed on my system such as 'Microsoft Flight Simulator X' and a few others of that nature and have no problems with them at all. All the advice I can find on the internet seems to relate to 'aftermarket' game problems and not the ones that come with Windows, any thoughts?

    If you back up your data and re-install windows that should solve the problem.. Otherwise I do know if you insert your Windows disc there is an option to "repair" Windows files (and the games would be considered Windows files I think), you could try that before re-installing.

    This is very strange. My best advice would be to reinstall the games, if it's possible :S
