My son-in-law fooled around with my computer and now programs that were
pre-installed are gone, ie, all games, etc.

Ask him what he did?? Did he uninstall the programs or deleted them?

If they are the Windows games you may reinstall them from the XP cd by
opening the Control Panel, selecting Add/Remove Programs and the clicking on
Add/Remove Windows Programs. Check the box for the games.

In-laws are a joy.

Lesson # 1.
Once you let someone else touch your computer, it is no longer yours.
Have pay for a tech to fix it, i bet he will never touch it again.
