can't find games

When you say Add/Remove Windows Components, don't work ... what do you mean.

When Windows Components comes up, and after you click on Accessories, Games
.... what is checked/unchecked?

Did you install this system? Is it Home or Business? Are you the Admin?

SP2 should not prevent you from ADDING Games. You need the original Windows
XP disk, if the Games are not resident on your system.

Do you have a C:\i386 folder or C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386 folder?
