    You best find that XP CD :) Or alternatively play them using online websites such as games.yahoo.com :p

    Control Panel>Add/ Remove Programs> Add/Remove Windows Components> highlight Accessories and Utilities and click on details then tick the game check box then click next and it will install/ reinstall the games.
