having some problems

[denise]

Hi
I have windows xp home on my pc, and I use my computer
everyday, the other day I went to play solataire, and all
the games that came preloaded on my computer are gone. I
also noticed that my calculator is gone. I was told by
the OEM to go on the microsoft web site to find the
problem because it was a software problem, and microsoft
says that I have to go to the OEM, can anyone help?? I
have tried a system restore, but ist makes no difference,
it is still not there

Have the games actually disappeared, or just the
shortcuts from the start menu?

For example, solitaire can be found at c:\windows\system32\sol.exe.
Does that file still exist on your system?

Hi Denise,

Control Panel/Add & Remove/Windows Components, you can uninstall/reinstall
the games and addons here.
