Hi

None of them work? Try uninstalling then reinstalling the games.

Did you uninstal from Windows Add/Remove Windows Components applet? Usually,
those files might still be available in the Windows folder - for ex.,
%SystemRoot%\System32\freecell.exe. So, do a search for the 'missing' games
files first.
If not, reinstall via Windows Components.

Hi, Tim.

For these games (FreeCell, Solitaire, etc.) that are included on the WinXP
CD-ROM, Phillips' suggestion is correct.

In Add or Remove Programs, click Add/Remove Windows Components. Then put a
check in Accessories and Utilities and click Details. Check Games and click
Details. Check as many boxes as you like, then OK your way back out until
you can click the Next button to finish the job.

Post back if you get lost along the way. ;<}
