Your new game... and you just lost it! Well, don't worry, follow these steps and you will most likely find that lost computer game.

Steps

  1. 1
    Calm down. You can't find anything when you're freaking out! Take a deep breath or two.
  2. 2
    Check the obvious places first. Is it in the CD-ROM drive? Is it piled underneath all your other games? Look & see!

  3. 3
    Retrace your steps if you don't have any luck with the previous step. You could have not even been paying attention and left it sitting right in front of you!
  4. 4
    Sit down and think about the last place you had it. Check there! If you remember it somewhere like on top of your computer, it may have fallen behind your desk. Look there too!
  5. 5
    Be positive! With a positive attitude, everything is okay.
  6. 6
    Don't look for it for 5 minutes and then say "Okay, can't find it." Look for a while and it will turn up!
  7. 7
    Offer to replace it if this is a friend's computer game and apologize to him/her.
  8. 8
    Check again. You may have missed a spot.
  9. 9
    Consider it may have been stolen if you have had no luck whatsoever. Are you at home? Make sure your sibling doesn't have it. School? Make sure your friends don't have it.
  10. 10
    10 Clean your area or house it might turn up there

    It may have been uninstalled, or maybe Windows 10 doesn't support it anymore. You might be able to find it if you go into file explorer and search: "Plants vs. Zombies" on the "my PC" search.
