Re: Loading MS Games ?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Double clicking on 'Accessories and Utilities' only shows the
Accessories. No Games! XP on this pc was loaded by the corporate
group, so they did not load the games. Why can't I, using my copy of
XP Pro, which does have the games, get them to appear in the 'A and U'
box, as they do on my home pc, which I loaded myself?

Is there any way to do a load directly from the XP Pro disk, without
going through the control panel? Is there a registry entry for
overriding this situation?

Thanks for the replies.
