Games not found.
HD with 98 crashed. Have new HD with 98 SE. No discs on hand. Games not
listed in StartPrograms Accessoriesetc. Nothing found in FindFiles/folders for 'Games' or 'Solitaire'. Find 'sol' shows something about solitaire in MS DOS. Is the usual Widows 'Games' available at ms.com? Searched there but found only KBs and assorted 'error' articles. Clear off the desk and get out a real deck of cards? Any ideas? Thanks. Keith |

Did you try installing them from the Windows Setup tab on Add/Remove
Programs in the control panel? -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.

Do you have the Windows setup files (.cab) on the hard drive?
Many machines have the .cab files stored in a location such as: C:\Windows\Options\Cabs, or C:\Windows\Options\Install If so, you can point setup to that location when it prompts for the Windows CD. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "keith" wrote in message ...
