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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.
Hi Doug:
Check if you have any Microsoft games in your Desk (Short cut)
or in Driver "C" you have to locate Microsoft file
1st: right click in any of these Microsoft Games
Solitaire
Spider Solitaire
Minesweeper
Hearts
a list comes on
click on "open file location"
Again:
If you don't have these games in desk (short cut)
then go to computer and find driver "C"
find the file for Microsoft and look for any of this games again right click in and look for "open file location:
this is the best choice.
or "properties" right click on properties then click on "open file location"
If you have Windows 7,8,10, these games should be there
when you open file location all the games that are in your computer including internet game, they all are there
hope this help you
I have a problem because after I click the Turn Windows feature and the list of programs appears
Games is not among the choices therefore there is no free cell listed.
Doug

Thank you for your reply but I am running Windows 10 and it defies all attempts to re-install
