30177	2002-01-07 11:39:00	Hi all, A while back I asked why my calculator (START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>calculator) might have gone. The simple replies were to look around the C drive. I never found it, and have since noticed that Paintbrush is gone too. Now I have no default .bmp viewer. I don't recall deleting either of these programs - who knows what else is missing. Anyone know where I can download these basic programs?	Guest (0)

Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, click the Windows Setup tab, double click on Accessories, and put a tick beside Calculator and Paintbrush, and click OK... it should ask you for your CD and will install them for you. Be sure not to remove any other ticks that may be there, cause that will uninstall those programs... it will only install newly ticked programs.	Guest (0)

It's a Compaq, bought from Harvey Norman. Apparently they should have given me the original software - Windows 98, Office 97 etc. All I got was the Compaq Quick Restore disk.	Guest (0)
