Re: Basic Games in XP replaced by Internet games

Hi bograt,

I've updated Outlook Express on my system, and my Solitaire games did not
dissapear, they still happily co-exist in the same folder as my Internet Games.

Somehow, your Solitaire games became uninstalled.. we'll just reinstall them.

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.
