Loading MS Games ?

[newsreader]

I'm running XP Pro on a corporate pc that does not have the MS games
loaded. I have a complete OS disk (with games) but can't get them to
load. Control panel/add remove/windows components/utilities doesn't
show them. Is there any way I can add the games without messing
anything up?

They are in a sub catagory under Accessories and Utilities.

Are you refering to the Details that include Calculator? If so, there
are no games in that listing.

No, double click on where it says "Accessories an Utilities" and another box
will open up with two items with check boxes. One is Accessories and under
it is Games.

Double clicking on 'Accessories and Utilities' only shows the
Accessories. No Games! XP on this pc was loaded by the corporate
group, so they did not load the games. Why can't I, using my copy of
XP Pro, which does have the games, get them to appear in the 'A and U'
box, as they do on my home pc, which I loaded myself?

Is there any way to do a load directly from the XP Pro disk, without
going through the control panel? Is there a registry entry for
overriding this situation?

Thanks for the replies.
