Windows XP Home Games to reinstall

Guest

I've had Windows XP Home Edition for a little while now and somehow, I accidentally removed my original games: Solitaire, Spider Solitaire, Minesweeper, FreeCell, and Hearts. Does anyone know how I might download these games for free? As a student with kids, money is a rare commodity.

Hi,

Control Panel/Add & Remove/WIndows Components, you will find that you can
re-add those games here.

They are on the regular Windows XP CD (it may be more difficult if you
have an OEM one that came with the machine). Go to Control Panel -
Add/Remove Programs, take Windows Components on the left, highlight
Accessories and Utilities, then click Details. Uncheck the Games box
and OK (if it is checked or greyed, to ensure you start with the system
thinking they are uninstalled) then check it and OK out.
