I have deleted minesweep freecell and other bundled games
on accident is there some way i can download..and if so
where?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.games (More info?)

My problem is related, and I wonder if anyone could help? I recently upgraded
online to OE6 - it was the first time I had responded to the 'critical
upograde' list, and all seemed to go Ok even though I had 20 critacal
upgrades to be done! All was well except that Freecell will not work. I can
open it but movement of cards will noe ocur - the 'hourglass' shows and stays
there for ever! the other games seem to be OK. I thought I would try to
uninstall Freecell and then re-install it using the instructions as below,
but when I get to the 'Games' part, the 'Details' button is grayed out. Can
anyone help please???

Hi, Jimmy - I did the same - deleted the bundled games, so tried what you
suggested - got internet games but not freecell, minesweeper or pinball.

Wasn't asked for my Windows XP CD - I have a Sony Vaio laptop and the only
disk I have is the one that came with it labelled Recovery and Documentation.

Any other suggestions?

Best regards

Yes - it was there - and how obvious a thing to do.

I've been computing since my days at HP in the era of DOS - you would think
I would have thought of that myself !!

Ah well, hindsight is a wonderful thing <VBG>.
