Hi andypily1,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

Try the steps one by one and check below.

STEP 1:
How do I add or remove games in Windows XP
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307768
 

STEP 2:

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.

Later, click on Start menu 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.

STEP 3:
If fails it above steps, 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.

    Use the deep Scan option. It may take some time.

    The System File Checker can repair some of the files in there, but probably not all.

    It's probably at least some of the files that have been overwritten. so I would say the the more safe thing to do is to reinstall Windows.

  • I lost the bar downstairs with the START button and access to all programs. I must have accidentally hit something. How can I get it back?

    I can't retrieve the bar of substantive tasks on my computer.  Lost the button START, programs, etc...  How can I get it back?

    Try to position the mouse to the bottom of the screen and see if you can click and drag the taskbar to a notch.  While you move the mouse, you should see a split bar, and if you click on that you can then move to the next level.

    I don't know what I clicked at all initially, but now, most of my programs have been converted to open it with Windows Media Player, so that they cannot work.

    I'm stuck and I don't know how else to solve this problem. Help, please!

  • I think I deleted windows... How can I get it back? Help!?

    I downloaded Ubuntu stupidly just to see what it was... but I think I should have deleted windows vista. When I turn on my computer, it brings me to a screen startup 'grub '. Windows vista is listed, but when I click on it the screen goes black just and he brings me to return. It happened when I upgraded to ubuntu 10 and I guess he resumed the computer or something. and vista.can deleted windows (or hopefully just hidden) to get it back? or at least upgrade to windows 7? can I use the version upgrade instead of the full version? Help, please!

    You need a Vista operating system upgrade within go to Windows 7 (depending on the version).

    Read this instead:

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • I tried to get rid of a certain toobar and accidentally got rid of one with folder, tools, etc. How can I get it back?

    I got a toolbar at the top of the Firefox page which had a single thing about it and I wanted to close or delete this toolbar, and I have deleted or closed that bad. Now, one with file, editing, tools, etc. is missing and I don't know how to get it back. Can you help me?

    Pressing Alt poster temporarily the menu bar, the other keys select the option set menu toolbar to display bar.

    It should still work in Firefox 4, which has a firefox button, Alt temporarily displays the menu and the firefox button bar.

    According to what has happened, you will need to use customize/customize to make other changes or even restore default, perhaps even to start Firefox in Safe Mode troubleshooting questions or study if another plugin affecting behavior of firefox.

  • After the update my default text color is recording. How can I get this back to black?

    I noticed that this has happened after the update, not too long ago. I tried to print a separation to film using only the black channel, and it gave me an error saying that nothing prints because there is nothing in this color. So I did some research and discovered that all I've done lately the color of the text was 'Recording' instead of black. Why is this? It is not difficult to change to black, but it's a waste of time that whenever I need to change the default in my document. I don't see a way to change color permanently in the dark. I tried the usual, but nothing will change the default text color. Is it a problem in the new update, or is there something that I can change? I use InDesign forever and Pagemaker before that... I've never had to deal with the color of black text is NOT by default. All this experience? How can I fix it?

    Open the Swatches palette and click on the small button T in text format. Set the [Black] fill color.
