Missing Free Cell and other games

I use to have Free Cell and other games that came with XP. Now I don't have them.

Can you help me? REMEMBER I am a beginner at computers so keep it simple language.

 

Got your winxp cd handy "? You can choose to install these from the "control panel" "add/remove software icon ". After clicking on this option, click on the button named "add/remove windows components ". From the popup choose "accessaries and utilities ". "Games" can be found in here put a check in it. If your xp install files are not stored on the harddrive, it may ask for your xp cd to complete the install.

================
Before doing the above, you may prefer to try this since you've stated you had them but now they're gone....
In case you have merely lost or misplaced your startmenu>all programs>games shortcut you can do a "file find" and type in "games" on the type in field named "all or part of the file name ".

 

Thanks Ann!
