missing games

Jeff

All of a sudden my games folder is empty and no games can
be found anywhere on my computer, even the recycled
folder. How can I get these back if I have XP and no disk
that came with the laptop?

Hi Jeff,

The only way to get them back then would be if the
installation files were saved onto your laptop's drive,
however, you should have been provided the XP CD.

To add/remove Windows XP Games: Click START / Control Panel /
Add or Remove Programs / Add Remove Windows Components /
Accessories and Utilities / [Details...] / Games / [Details...] / then check
(or uncheck and then recheck the games) / Click [OK] 3 times to finish.

Hopefully the files are on your drive as I said Jeff, and the installation
will automatically point towards that directory and complete the install.
