185748 2003-10-22 19:06:00 win 98 os, recently done a reformat reinstalled everything now my fav game wont play. I get as far as start new game then mouse turns into eggtimer & I cant select any cards. Only option available is exit. a setting somewhere? maybe as all other games that come with win 98 play ok? teddybear (2443)
185749 2003-10-22 20:55:00 You could try Add/remove - windows. Remove entertainment then re-install.

185750 2003-10-23 16:42:00 yes, I have done that but same thing happens. solitare, hearts etc all work fine, it is only freecell that the mouse pointer turns into eggtimer after the deck has been dealt, can use the file menus/options just cant select cards to play. everything else on computer seems to be a ok. teddybear (2443)
185751 2003-10-23 18:33:00 dunno if this'll help but in about 1/20 puters that have AVG antivirus installed these games come up with 'illegal operation' and wont work you gotta disable AVG....... drcspy2 (4743)
185752 2003-10-23 19:04:00 Hi, do you have MS Office installed? If so this [url=http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304402]support article [/ul] may help. Note towards the end of the article it mentions a file called Ctfmon.exe thats installed with Office (not sure if its limited to Office XP - may have been in earlier versions) and you should disable this by following the link on the page. parry (27)
