Hello...I am totally puzzled. The games that got installed when I installed
Windows xp are gone.
Ie: Playing the Windows gamesWindows provides several games on the Start
menu. You can add others using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.

FreeCell
Hearts
Minesweeper
Solitaire
Space Cadet 3D Pinball
Spider Solitaire

I have no idea what happened or where they went. I was able to re- download
the MSN ones ( Playing Internet Zone games) but as I said I haveno idea what
happened to the others. Is there a way I can re-install them?
I have had problems with my verizon internet connection and had to re set my
modem 3 times in the ;ast 2 months but that is the only problem I have had.
Any help will be extrememly appreciated

Thank you,
poobear

Go into Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs, then click the Add/Remove
Windows Components in the left pane. With Accessories and Utilities
highlighted on the first screen, click the Details button. Single
left-click Games in the next screen to highlight it, then again click the
Details button. On the resulting screen you can add or remove check marks
from any of the listed games.

Hiya Chris-
Thanks so much for the step by step directions!! It worked but it took me
several attempts. I had to do each one individually but I got them re-
downloaded.
I appreciate the quick response to my dilemma :)
Many thanks

Poobear, they're on your computer not a download from somewhere. They still
existed, but had been removed from the list, therefore not available to you.
You'll doing well, and we (Jimmy, Paul and I) like to help people. Drop
back again, even if you don't have a question. If you've got an answer, you
can help someone else, too.

Guys,

I understand how this is done.
However I have another issue.They are not there.
I am running a tweaked version of XP called Nemesis and the games
weren't installed in the original set up. So my question is, how can I
put them back in without reinstalling the whole OS?

Attached file is screen shot.

Cheers

JustGeoff

Like Jimmy said, you're in area which we don't have access to, nor do we
want to. If you've "tweaked" Windows XP, then you're on you own. There's
no telling what has been done to the operating system as it is supported in
this newsgroup. Ask for support from the "Nemesis" folks.

Hi Geoff,

The forums you're posting to are just piggybacking on the Microsoft
Public Newsgroups where most of us are responding from. I do not
we would need an account at those forums to see your attachment. :(
