If you have Windows XP
You should have a game console called My HP Games, with this you have 2 free trials of hundreds of games, it doesn't kick you out after an hour play as long as you want... if you don't close down your computer just keep the game up for days and when you exit the game that still only counts as 1.
When you have used your 2 trials
Go to your - Control Panel
click - Uninstall a program
click on the - My HP Games file and Uninstall
this won't uninstall the console it will give you a list of games you have played...
choose Virtual Villagers or any other game you want and click Next
when you are done go back into HP games and play 2 more times
The only thing that sucks is you can't continue where you left off... you have to start over... but its better than nothing.
