Hello,
All items under accessories and games disappeared. Attempts to restore using XP setup are also failing.
Do this:
Click "
Start" then "
settings" then "
Control Panel" then Double-Click "
Add or Remove Programs" Look at the
Left side of the
window/box and please notice the third button down says "
Add/Remove Windows Components"
and click it. A new window/box will appear. The
First choice says "
Accessories and Utilities" and should be
checked. If you double-click "
Accessories and Utilities" it will show you briefly what it will add or remove according to what is checked. Double-click "
Accessories" and it will show a list of what specifically it will install or remove depending on if it is checked or not. The same thing goes for the games. Choose what you want, and then click
Ok, and then click
Next. When it is done, go back to
Start, Programs, accessories and see if everything you wanted is now there.
