Paint and Calculator Missing From Windows XP SP2

[tetrisgod]

This is really odd, I downloaded SP2 and I don't have calculator or paint on my computer lol....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I thought those came with windows lol?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How do I get them back?

[Hulk12]

My Computer > Drive C: > Windows > System32

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

look in there if they are not in there:

 

 

 

Search windows.com for them. Or find a alternative to them...

you may have accidently removed them when doing a disc clean up, one of the options is to add or remove windows components :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All you need is the [Caution: ExecutableFile] for both which is like 2kb... if you have another computer or something (just get it from a friend) throw the [Caution: ExecutableFile] on a floppy drive and put it in your /system 32 folder

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Create a shorcut if you'd like, however you won't see it in the 'open with...' category, so you gotta do that manually

Start -> Control Panel -> Add & Remove Programs -> Add\Remove Windows Components -> Acessories and check paint and calculator...

Umm can any of you like send me them?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or something....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dunno what to do

[zonda]

You can only use the 'add compenents' if you have the windows xp cd, otherwise you will have to do it manually.... and like I said, if you do it manually it won't be in your list of "open with...."

[runesmithie]

The specific things you are looking for in System32 are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mspaint : Paint

 

 

 

calc : calculator

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can check if they are there by pressing WinKey + R and typing in mspaint for paint and calc for calculator :P
