Solitaire left me!

I lost my Solitaire game in Windows 98!
I only have Recovery disks from Acer so I can't reinstall it.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall it with Control Panel but to no avail.
How can I get a copy of Solitaire to play with?
Thanks

Often a restore disk will write the W98 .cab files to the hard drive. Do a
find on: win98_24.cab and if found, note its location. Then use sfc.exe to
extract a copy of the file from that location.
Run sfc.exe and select the "extract one file..." option. Type in the
complete name of the missing file you want to restore or use the browse
button for a file replacement. Click start and in the resulting window,
browse to the location of the folder containing the W98 .cab files (either
the hard drive or CDRom drive). If the information in the "save in" box is
wrong, use the browse button to show where the file is to be restored to.
Click OK and if appropriate, on the resulting screen, show the location
where the file being replaced is to be backed up to. Click OK or skip as
appropriate. Restart your computer and the file replacement will occur
during the boot process.

If you are going to use sfc.exe for other than the extract option, I highly
recommend that you first read the article he
