Getting An Old Program To Work

[Palustris]

Accidental deleted a program and now it will not work. Cannot for the life of me remember how I did it before. The program was designed to work on Windows 98ME. Tried using the Compatibility option, but it still will not work. Anyone any ideas?
Company which made it no longer in business by the way.

could it still be in the recycle bin?

"Accidental deleted a program and now it will not work"

You'll need to be a lot more specific! If you've deleted a program, accidentally or otherwise, how are you actually expecting it to still work?

Isnt there a more modern program that does the same things.

You're probably out of luck anyway but it might just help a bit if you could tell us which program you're actually referring to. (If nothing else, we might be able to point you towards a suitable alternative),

Program was deleted while trying to get rid of some Adware. I have the original disc so I can reload the program (Solitaire Master by the way). Auto-run loads up the program, but when I go to Play, it just tries to re-load the program again. If I go to Demo (which is how it used to work on Windows 7) it just brings up a screen of adverts on the Internet.

Thanks, but that is not a lot of use in that the Patiences which my better half liked to play are not available on line anywhere.
Really annoying in that the old program worked even though it should not have done. For the life of me I cannot remember what I did to get it to work. It was over 5 years ago when I managed it.
