Re: trouble with reinstalling paint/calculator

Maybe just the shortcuts are missing.

Do these work?

Open Paint...
Start | Run | Type: mspaint | Click OK

Open Calculator
Start | Run | Type: calc | Click OK

Restore shortcuts to the Accessories group

I would if that were an option, but it's been a while since he did this.
If I restored, then I would lost a lot of information I need to hold onto.

my husband ran a disk cleanup on our computer and in the process deleted
paint and calculator from our computer and i need them back. i have
done some reading around on here and gone to add/remove programs and
tried to reinstall them. it starts the process and then prompts for
the service pack 2 cd. i put it in the cd drive, hit ok, it takes me
to another screen and i hit and ok again, and then it doesn't do
anything. there is a browse section with which directory to look in.
i have tried it with the default entry and just entering d: since that
is my cd drive and it won't work either way. anyone have any ideas on
what could be wrong or how i can get these programs back? thanks!
