XP Internet Games...(Checkers, Hearts etc.)

[Guest]

I lost the files from the intergrated games you get with XP..like checkers
and pinball and stuff, and although it was easy enough to get the standalone
ones back from an other pc by pasting the files into their relavant folders,
the internet ones don't seem to work and i don't know how to make them work.
The error message i get when i try and open them tells me to reinstall them
again in control panel, but i don't have the xp installation discs anymore
which is where the setup is located.

does anyone have any ideas?...anywhere you know to redownload them possibly?

Thanks to any help
xx

You need to have an XP installation CD. What if the hard drive dies, how
will you reinstall XP. I would take care of that issue, then you can take
care of this one. Also do you have a full and complete backup of data at
all times?
