Solved: Ok, I was under the impression that these games were not preinstalled on an OEM machine but only on the other xp systems. but I was wrong I got these instructions (which I will FRAME) from HP and they worked just fine. Thank You ALL for your kind replies, it was great working with you guys. Here are the instructions that worked.>>>

By way of information I would like to inform you that the game comes
preinstalled with windows XP in the HP computer and can be restored by
following these steps:

1. Click Start, select Control Panel, and double-click the Add or
Remove
Programs icon.
2. Click the Add/Remove Windows Components option and highlight
Accessories
and Utilities.
3. Select the Details button and deselect the Games checkbox.
4. Click OK, select Next, and choose Finish.
5. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
6. Select the Games checkbox.
7. Click OK, select Next, and choose Finish.

This should reinstall the Windows XP games component and you should be
able to see the Internet checkers game under start >> all programs >>
games.
