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.

    Dear Patricia Scown:

    People ask me how to re-install Free Cell and I tell them what  I did on my Windows 7

    I do not understand about what you are talking about MESSING WITH OUR COMPUTERS

    When people ask me what I did I tell them

    1.- find any Microsoft game in your computer

    2.- wright click   and look for >3.-Properties>

    4.-open file location

    5.- look for all Microsoft games that you want to install(Free Cell is There)

    I suggest that you find who is MESSING WITH your computer because is not me

    I seldom goes to Microsoft Community for questions and answers

    Again Sorry for your trouble
