Dear Al,
Many thanks for all the posts. I was able to re-insatll the missing games. I
guess they were there all the time. I did multiple searches, using *.exe,
spider, with no results. I then went to the i386 folder and saw spider.e_,
spider.ch_ and spider.hl_.
I always search for spider.* in a situation like this. It's easier to
type than .ext and it finds directories and .ico files and gives a
better idea of how many associated files a given file has.
I then went back to Add/Remove..... and tried different combinations of
checked and unchecked boxes and voila, it worked. The other day when I tried
that, I removed some of the aux. apps., like the calculator etc.
My fear was that I would delted more applications etc and really be screwed.
That screen is pretty scary, I agree.
The default setting on most of these components is : checked. I was worried
that by hitting next with everything checked, I would delete more as stated
above.
You were wrong, but I know why you felt that way.
