  Hello

  You have the folder i386 somewhere in your car?

  Maybe in C:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386

  If so, you can try to use that to restore these games, instead of pointing to the CD do point to the i386 folder.

  Click Start > Control Panel
  Double click on "Add or Remove Programs.
  Click "Add/Remove Windows components" and
  Click on "Accessories and utilities.
  Click on "Details". Check the box 'games'.
  Select the games you want to install on your computer.

• Windows XP SP3. Space above the start menu is empty, some programems wont shortcuts or all programs.

  Recently installed Office 2010, but need technical assistance. Tech has created a new user account 'my computer', but on my screen to connect normal admin, space in the start menu above all rest programs empty. In addition, some desk top of page shortcuts will not run, no programs will work directly from the main menu.  Additionally, Windows update will not work. Outlook will start the new screen of the computer user, but not my normal log on screen.  I tried a number of alternative, none succeeded.  It seems that the fundamental problem is the connection to my main user on screen log has somehow been disconnected and I'm unable to re-establish the connection. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

• Lost folder of the Start Menu Windows XP Media Center shortcuts

  My system crashed a few weeks ago and I had to get it fixed.  I lost most of my programs, but reinstalled.  Yesterday I went to run an application in the menu START and the HANDLE has been note there.  Also my Microsoft Help and Support has disappeared.  Can you tell me how recovery these elements?  I have'nt had a chance.  Thanks Dyan

  Control Panel, taskbar and Start Menu, Start Menu, tab customize, advanced.

  Scroll down and select what you would like to have in the Start Menu.

• Determine the target of the shortcut in the Start Menu

  I have shortcuts to folders in my Start Menu.  They seem to be of two different types, judging by their icons, although I don't know what circumstances lead to one type over the other.

  The 'good' type have icons that look like a single file.  I can pull up to its properties, the image of a folder appears with a small arrow in the lower left corner and there is a target field showing the trajectory of the target.

  The 'bad' type have icons that look like a single file with a preview of the content.  I can pull up the properties, the picture shown is always a file with preview and there isn't * no. * Target field showing the trajectory of the target.

  For both types, if I go down the shortcuts, the path in the address bar is not the true path, it's a false path that looks like it branches in the Start Menu (where the shortcut is) i.e. c:\Documents and Settings\Ma.F\Start Menu\TheShortCutName.  Two shortcuts are in folders on a network drive.

  1. How can I get the path of the target for the 'wrong' type of shortcuts?
  2. Is it possible to have the address field display the actual path instead of making it look like the folder is located in the Start Menu?

  My mistake.  Records that have not shortened * resident in the Start Menu.  They contain simply other shortcuts or folders of shortcuts.  Answer to the question #1.

  So, if I go down the shortcuts, the actual path of the target * is * displayed in the address bar.  Who responds to question #2.

  It doesn't seem to be a way to cancel a thread in this forum.  I'm sorry that this erroneous thread drag.

• some of my (links) shortcut in the start menu programs are "empty". How can I fix the problem? Ron

  Links to programs on the start menu appear as "empty" when I run the mouse over them.  I've recreated some of them, but it's not the biggest problem of why it happened in the first place.  Help, please.  Win XP Pro SP3 IE 8.0 Dell Dimension 2400.

  Hi RonaldPease,

  ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  ·         What do you mean by "links to programs on the start menu appear as"empty"when I run the mouse over them"?

  ·         You are able to launch programs by clicking on them?

  Perform a system restore and check if the problem persists.

  Set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName (file system. GetFileName ("C:\Program Files\SAP\SapSetup\setup\SAL\saplgpad.s8l"))
