Hi

Can someone help me, all my preloaded games have disappeared. I am running XP Pro and with the exception of the actual folder all my games have disappeared, solitaire, freecell, hearts etc.

I have run the repair utility on the installation disk but they have not come back.

What do I do now???

Try reinstalling them via the Control Panel.

->Add/Remove Programs.
-->Add/Remove Windows Components.
--->Double click on Accessories and Utilities.
---->Check games, or uncheck and recheck games and click OK.

And cross your fingers. 8-)
