How to Reinstall Dell Games for Windows XP
PC manufacturers offer a variety of incentives to convince potential customers to buy their products--including the free games that are offered by Dell in partnership with Wild Tangent Games. Unfortunately, reformatting your computer or reinstalling Windows XP can lead to the games being lost. They don't have to be lost for good, however; it's actually relatively easy to restore lost Dell games after reinstalling Windows XP.
