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.

    1st: Check if you have any game in your computer either in the Desk or file

    Look for Solitaire

    Spider Solitaire

    Minesweeper

    or

    Hearts

    2nd: RIGHT CLICK in any of these games> property > file location

    It will show "Games"

    Look for Free Cell and any other game that you want and left click to install

    Good luck

    There is no Games program, so nothing to check!
