Trying to reinstall games

[Guest]

I am trying to reinstall games on my home computer and I get the message: The
file 'spider.exe' on Windows xp Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD is needed -
Type the Path where the file is located and then click OK. Copy files from:
C:\i386.

I bought my computer from Dell a couple of years ago and I do not have a
windows xp cd - how do I get them back on my computer?

Windows setup look like it was run from the C: drive. Did you happen to
delete a directory called i386 at some point? This would have contained your
Windows setup files. You could borrow a disk from someone else who has
Windows, and if prompted, browse to the location on the CD. Usually the
browse window will have the name of the file it's looking for already
highlighted.

I expect there are freeware versions of the games you want on the net.
