    I just bought a new Asus W5F and when I went to play a game, they were gone. I also looked and Accessories>Entertainment was also gone. I must have done something. They are not in the Recycle Bin. I have windows XP home. Is there anywhere I can download the games and Entertainment for my computer? Thanks.

    It's not in Accessories anymore, it's in a separate folder called "Games." Hope you find it, I couldn't imagine a trip without Spider Solitaire! :)

    Sorry I meant to put that it's also NOT in Games. There is nothing in the "Games" file or in the Accessories>"Entertainment" file!

    Start-->Control Panel-->Add or Remove Programs-->Add/Remove Windows Components-->Accessories and Utilities. Make sure the box is checked. There is also a Details Button, so you can also check that to make sure Games are also checked off.

    HTH!

    Try unchecking the Games box, hitting OK, then going back into Control Panel, checking Games again, then reboot. Hopefully it'll show up on your Start Menu again under the Games Folder.

    If that doesn't work post back...
