Problem reinstalling Wordpad and calculator - keeps uninstalling OE &

I accidentally uninstalled Wordpad. When trying to reinstall it via
Add/Remove files > Add/Remove Windows Components, I uncheck everything
but accesories and then work my way down to Wordpad and Calculator.
Check it go back to the root, hit go but find that it uninstalls
Outlook Express and Windows Media Player.

Reinstall those and Wordpad goes away. I seem to be caught in this
endless loop.

All input will be appreciated.

Wordpad and Calculator both go away, even though they're unchecked
when reinstalling OE & WMP.

Here's the way Add/Remove Windows Components works. If you uncheck an
application, it will be removed. Any program that is already installed that you
want to keep should have a check mark next to it. Don't uncheck any program you
want to keep. That means putting a check mark next to Outlook Express, Windows
Media Player, Wordpad, and Calculator along with the other programs you want to
keep.

Good luck

Uhhh, guy...anything you uncheck will be removed, anything checked will be
installed (if not lready installed).

When you uncheck an item it uninstalls it so do not untick anything you wish
to keep, just add a tick to WordPad & Calculator. :)

HTH,

If that were true, I'd be losing Internet Explorer, which I'm not.

It says "To add or remove a component, click the checkbox. A shaded
box means that only part of the component will be installed..."

I also find that IE and WMP are check by default when I open Add/
Remove Windows components. If I leave them checked they're removed. If
I uncheck them, they're removed.

I'll see if I can uninstall WMP, IE and then see if they'll reinstall
at the same time as calculator and wordpad.
