Re-installing Free Cell
How can I re-install or download the Free Cell game that came with my computer. I have an HP Media Center running Windows XP. The Free Cell game that came install has been uninstalled. Need help. Thanks.

Click on START, Control Panel, Programs, Programs and Features
On the left hand side there is an option that says, "Turn Windows features on or off" click that.
Click the plus sign next to Games, and you should see FreeCell there with no check mark next to it. Click it so there IS a check mark. Hit Ok, and it should reinstall.
Try unchecking it. Saying Ok to everything and getting out of it. Then go back in. Check it, and see if it installs properly.
Keep in mind, if you are on a work PC, it is possible that your employer has stripped Freecell (And other games) from the PC. They can do this through Group Policy Security settings among other methods. Regardless if you try and install it again won't matter as the settings will keep it from installing, working, running.
However, if it is a home based PC, you should be able to uncheck and then get out, and then go back in and recheck it. And it should install. If not, you may have a more serious problem.
I always worry about updates. At least if I tell it to wait and ask me what to do, I will have some idea what is going on. And when there are updates for Windows, often there will be tens of thousands of changes. I don't see any reason to assume they got all of those right
thanks for replying ginger820, the box is there but alas no mentions of games, I downloaded a free cell that you can play with one or two packs but it isn't numbered, Microsoft has got numbers on them that's why I knew I had solved 1334 freecells (not at first go,most were started over 5-10 times before igot it write, the ones I,m doing now is .474 thanks very much anyway.
When I clicked on "Turn Windows features on or off", GAMES was not listed. How can I get all of my installed Microsoft games back, which were lost when I upgraded to windows 10?
