When I try to Free Cell' I can"t get it from start/programs/accessory/games. It says ERROR. I went to add/remove' uninstblled then installed. Guess what? I still don"t have it. However the other games there work. Don't like ahoo version.

Freecell should be located in the Windows directory. Check to see that the target of your shortcut is correct. Go to Start -> Programs ->accessories ->Games and right-click on Freecell and choose Properties. You'll be presented with a window that has the target on it. It should say: C:\Windows\freecell.exe

If it doesn't, change it and see if that works. This is assuming Windows 98. In ME, it's Start ->Programs ->Games.

If that doesn't work, open your Windows folder and see if you can find Freecell in there. (Windows Key plus E key will open Explorer. Navigate to the Windows folder of your C: drive and make sure the icons are arranged by Name, then go alphabetically to find Freecell - the icon should look like a card face. Double-click on it and see if it works from there. If nothing else, you can right-click on the icon and then choose "Send to" and Desktop (create shortcut) and you'll have a shortcut on your desktop.

It sounds like either you have a corrupted freecell file, or maybe it depends on something else being functional that isn't.

Do you have Norton Cleansweep installed? If so, open your task manager (ctrl-alt-del 1 time) and find CSINJECT and disable it. Then see if it will open.

It could be anything from Norton or AVG antivirus or Logitech or Intellimouse software or Office XP installed.

Freecell won't work when Tray Manager is loaded (3rd-party program to manage tray items).

If you have any of these programs, try disabling them and see if freecell will work, one at a time.
