Tetris Problem: tells me I need to re-install

Question

Hey. Everyone once in a while I get an error message on my iPod (first iteration of the 5G) when trying to play tetris. It says that there was an error or something and that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes and re-install the game. But, if I try loading the game again right away then it's always fine. So, it's not a huge problem, but how would I go about re-installing the game?

A more simple way of going about re-installing the game is to connect your iPod to your computer, click on the iPod in your iTunes Source list to bring up the iPod summary view, then click on the "Games" tab.
From this tab, you can select which games to sync, or whether to sync games at all. Simply uncheck "Sync Games" or if you have other games you don't wish to re-install use the Sync Selected Games option and check all the games except for Tetris. Then at the bottom right corner of the iPod view, click "Apply".
This will delete Tetris from your iPod, but will keep Tetris intact on your computer. Just re-select Tetris in the list, or re-check "Sync Games" and hit "Apply" again, and Tetris will be re-installed on your iPod.
