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.
This is a Windows Vista forum. If you have XP, you'll need to visit the XP forum.
You should have read the question more carefully so as not to waste everyone's time with inapproiate answers.

What I did was, I click in one of the windows game like Spider right click for properties>open file location> find the game> paste to Desk top and that is.
Thank you for your help and I hope this is good for someone else.

No need to reinstall. If it's in the recycle bin, just move it back.
