After having Windows XP reinstalled, I have lost the games file (Free Cell,
Solitaire, etc. that were installed when I bought the computer). When I
click on Games, nothing happens. Yesterday, I got a message that said
"Empty". Is there anything I can do to retrieve the games file? I am a
senior citizen and have zero expertise with computers. I need a step by step
approach. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
