Basic Games Gone

A few days ago, I downloaded iTunes. When the download was complete, my computer restarted and when everything came back up, all of my standard games where gone (solitaire, spider solitaire, hearts, mindsweep, etc.). I have done a file search, and nothing... I have no idea what happened or where they went. Any ideas on how I can get them back? I have a Dimension 5100.

    wow.. thats a strange thing to have happened.

    Really depends what OS your running but if its XP like I think, you should be able to...

    go to 'add/remove programs' in the control panel.

    Click on 'add/remove windows components' on the left.

    When the window pops up, uncheck everything except 'accessories and utilities'.

    Then highlight 'accessories and utilities' and click the 'details' button.

    make sure just 'games' is checked and then click ok.

    That will reinstall the windows games. It'll probably ask for your XP OS disk.

    good luck.
