Yesterday I noticed my games (free cell, solitaire, etc) were gone. As well as my calculator. What the heck happened? I used the calculator in the morning and in the afternoon it was gone.

I'm using XP. I was able to find free cell by searching my files and folders but when I go to start>programs>games> it says "empty" where many games such as solitaire, free cell spider, tetris, ect. were located. I really have no idea what made them disappear.

You can try going to your control panel. Click Add/Remove programs. On the left side click Add/Remove Windows Components. Double - click Accessories and Utilities and make sure there is a check mark next to games. If not click the box. Click O.K. and then hit next. Try that out! If that doesn't work you can try to do a system restore to a point where you had your games.
