Hi Pinto1uk,


To add/remove Windows XP Games:

Click START > Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs
Add Remove Windows Components
Accessories and Utilities
[Details...]
Games
[Details...]
Select the games to install, here's how:
Place a check to install, or uncheck to uninstall
* If you're installing, and it's already checked, uncheck the
box and then check it again to trick Windows into reinstalling
Click [OK] 3 times.
