How to restore Cell Spider Solitaire on desktop?

[deebeee]

In trying to help my Dell run better I used Dell's System Maintenance and probably authorized removal of things I wasn't using often. BUT I did use Spider Solitaire often. Now Spider Solitaire is gone, removed. Even though Spider is still there.

I tried accessing it under all programs, but not there. Tried going to Dell Community (don't have bucks for Dell Tech support), but could not for the life of me get my user name, ooof.

Anyway long story short -- anyone know how to reinstall the DELL version of Spider Solitaire.

Thank you all so much

Do you have a Dell Recovery CD that came with the computer? I used to own a Dell and that Disc had everything on it, the games, the operating system, drivers, everything.

If you do have it, put it in and just browse the CD and see if you can just recover games or the Dell application files.

I am currently doing Google searches to help you find what your looking for, but so far nothing. I will post back if I find anything.

If the software isn't actually from Dell, but the Spider Solitaire that ships with Windows itself, then you should be able to add it back by using the option to add or remove a Windows component.

Here are guides on how to do so, just choose the one for the Windows version you're using:

• Windows XP
  
• Windows Vista
  
• Windows 7

That's what I was thinking exile360, I used to have a Dell years ago and it did have a few free games that came with it, but I can't find anything on a Dell version of Spider Solitaire on Google.

Thanks Seagull -- I probably do, will check. Thanks, feel a bit silly asking for help on this, but I use Spider Solitaire when I'm waiting on the phone (no speaker phone) to keep from going NUTZ.

Hi Exile -- Great -- thanks very much. As I said to Seagull, this game keeps me from going bonkers when on hold on the phone with various companies.

Yes, I went right away to the vastly overrated Google and nada. But thank you and Exile for the excellent suggestions.
