| 295665 | 2004-11-24 03:29:00 | My friend has windows 98 and trying to read a CD which has had Spider Solitaire put on it. She goes, Start, my computer, clicks on where the disk is , it will bring it up but when clicks on the spider icon nothing happens. I bought the disk around here and tried it on my computer and it worked no problems. I tried putting the games onto a floppy - worked fine on my computer took to her no go again. Does anyone have any ideas whats stopping her getting the info?? Thanks Bug :) |

| 295668 | 2004-11-24 04:34:00 | Firstly, what is the file type that you are "clicking on"? If it is spider.exe (which is the free spider solitaire file) it should install OK on the 98 PC. I am suspicious about what you are doing though, as you say you put it on a floppy disk - but spider.exe is 1.6 MB in size and would not fit on a floppy disk. Can you advise the file name, and size? |
