Games like solitaire, free cell, hearts, etc. accidentally has been removed from my computer. When I go into Control Panel, add or remove windows, windows components, I need the floppy disk that I don't have. Any ideas how I can get these games back?

I have windows xp service pack 3 and internet explorer 7

Hi dollarsfor6,

 

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

In most cases if the games are deleted from the computer files will remain on the computer.

I suggest that you are looking for game files in the system32 folder.

Click on Start menu later click on run and type c:\\windows\system32 in the following search of the window for the file of games like free cell. If you get the files in the system32 folder then copy the file to c:\\program files\start menu\ later in the game folder.

If fails it above step, try a system restore to the point when the game was available on the computer.

See the link below to learn how to perform the system restore.
