For the past two days I have noticed a few things missing on my computer. I am missing paint, and games, I'm not sure if anything else is missing other than those two.
I have yahoo games, but the other games are missing. Example, pinball, solitaire etc...
I don't use these programs much, but I would like to have them back.
Any solutions on how to get these back will be greatly appreciated.
I am running Windows XP. If you need more info to help me, just ask!

Thanks in advance!

I think I may be doing something wrong. I'm not sure! I don't want to sound dumb, but I'm not sure what you mean when you say"tick games" or "tick paint". What does tick mean?

I didn't know what tick meant, so I just checked the boxes. then when I clicked next, a box popped up that says Files Needed The file 'freecell.exe' on windows XP Home Edition CD-ROM is needed.Over to the right side of that it had a OK, or Cancel buttons. Below all of that it had, "Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK. It had a Browse button. I really wasn't sure what to do at this point, so I just put in my Windows XP Home Edition, and clicked OK. Nothing happen at all. I just couldn't figure it out.

I am really computer illiterate, I'm really hoping you know what I did wrong, or what Im not doing at all. Thanks you so much for helping!

tick meant put a check in the box

and...well by your description that should have worked...try it again with the xp cd in from the start..

By tick he simply means CLICK or CHECK the box...

Get to your control panel in windows

START>>> CONTROL PANEL, or however it is for your version. and do the following
