Hi Mama,

Your question is a bit unclear. Are you looking for a specific program
to download after you have accidentally removed it from your computer
or are you looking for a copy of that program in your computer in
order to install again?

"the add or remove place" refers to windows (95/98/nt/2k/me/xp)

there is a totally FREE program that will recover lost files for
you... you can find it here:
http://www.mikeshardware.com/files_public/pci_filerecovery.exe


but if you want to recover a program you removed and you do not have
the CD or instalation file for the program AND if you have windowsXP
or ME then you can do a system restore and restore your computer to
the state it was in before you deleated the program...

start > accessories > system tools > system restore

If you downloaded this program from the internet, then you either open
it from its location or save it to a file. I f you open it from its
location site then go back to that site and down load it again.
If you save it, then look in the folder that you save it in, double
click the icon of the program and it will reinstall it self.  If you
did not nominate a folder then it would save itself to your temp file,
as long as you know the name of the program you can reinstall it from
the temp folder.

yes you can also try that, but it seems this person has limited
knowledge on how to operate his/her computer so doing a system restore
might be best/easyest

This answer assumes you are using windows, had originally downloaded
the program from the Internet, and therefore still have the
installation files on your computer.

If you still remember the name, or any part of the name of the
program, click the buttons Start, then search, and type in the most
logical part of this name you remember (without spelling mistakes).
Click search.

If this results in a file that , try double clicking it and see if it
starts installing, if it doesn't, try the next file or another key
word.
