I appear to have lost microsofts windows game 'spider
solitaire'. Not sure how but it certainly isn't there in
the directory following variou searches. Is there anyway
of getting it back without having to reload windows?

please help

Thanks
 
Greetings,

Have you tried looking into this folder:
X:\WINDOWS\system32

[Where is X is your local drive (the place where you intalled XP)]

Thanks and best of luck!

Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs, on the left click 'Windows
Components'. Highlight Accessories and Games, click Details; highlight
Games click Details.

There is a checkbox for Spider Solitaire; if it is checked, uncheck it
and OK to make sure it is properly uninstalled. Then come back check it
and OK to reinstall it - you may be asked for your CD
 
Nice one thanks for your help.
I found it in the system 32 folder, created a shortcut back in the startup menu for all users in with the other games and it works as it did before.

Cheers
