  I reformatted my computer and I would like to know how I can register windows xp

  You did not say what service pack you have installed, but I guess not SP3. Try to upgrade to SP3 and then try again.

  If you have Service Pack 1 has already been installed on your computer, you can go ahead and install Service pack 3

  Otherwise, you must download and install Service Pack 2.

  And later, you must install Service pack 3.

  Service pack 1 and service pack 2 Service pack 1 has joined in.

  Here are the links where you can download and install Windows XP SP.

  Service Pack 2: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28

  MSN games are not part of Windows 7 so when you reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 you have lost the. Depending on the type of game you will need to reinstall each game - this may mean to download again MSN. If they are browser based games simply to go to the MSN Web page for the game in the usual way.

  If instead of MSN games, you actually mean that games built into Windows 7 as Chess Titans, Spider Solitaire & FreeCell, then you can just turn them on by using the following method:

  1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

  2. click on programs and features.

  3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

  4. find the entry called games & check the box next to it.

  5. click on OK.

  6 reset.

  If the games box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

  Hello
  
  1. except if you have deleted the recovery partition on your machine, your machine must have a recovery partition. Make sure all your backup files before you restore the PC/laptop to the factory settings.

  2 my suggestion: keep Windows 7, you will not be disappointed with Windows 8. But if you want, Microsoft has a tool that resembles the Advisor Windows 7 to Windows 8 called Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard. Please download the wizard and run it on your computer:
  
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-to-Windows-8

  You must purchase the upgrade to Windows 8 Microsoft (download) or many computer stores (DVD).
