Deleted games

I deleted games that came installed on my computer and I can't figure out
how to get them back. They didn't go to the recycle bin so I can't restore
from there. Perhaps I have lost them for good? They were Inkball and Mahjong
titans. I run Vista Basic on a compac PC. Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: Deleted games

Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features
on the left, click "Turn Windows features on or off"

under Games, check the games you want.

Re: Deleted games

Try this. Go to Start Menu\Programs\Accessories and right-click on Command
Prompt.
Choose "Run as Administrator". Then type the command:

sfc /scannow

Press enter on your keyboard.

The System File Checker scan may take awhile; this scans all system files,
and can possibly repair or replace the files you are missing.
