MS Games Not Installed

I have SP2 and for some reason the standard Microsoft games (Hearts, Solitare, Freecell, etc.) were not installed. I tried to look for them on Microsoft's download site but could not find them.

Is there a way I can get them?

Thanks.
-Will

installing sp2 should have made no difference to those games. When i updated to sp2 they were still there so im not sure what the problem is.
Sorry i cant help more but if sp2 is the problem you can uninstall it in add/remove programs

You can install them if you have your WinXP CD with you.

1. Just go to the Control Panel and
2. click "Add or Remove Programs".
3. On the left you'll se a list of Add/Remove options. Select "Add/Remove Windows Components" and
4. when Windows Components Wizard shows up, select "Accesories and Utilities",
5. click on Details and check the box next to Games.

I hope this proves to helpful to you...
