| 137765 | 2003-04-22 04:11:00 | Mike's right, I dont think the program has changed since Windows 3.1 days when 386s were the thing to have, and a DX33 was blindingly fast :) | Terry Porritt (14) | ||

It should work - the WinXP sol.exe works fine in Linux through Wine, so theoretically it'd work just as well under W98. Mike. |

It should work - not so fast.... do NOT replace the c:\windows\sol.exe with the XP one, or you will be without ANY solitaire game at all! You will get a combo of fatal errors. The first one being "c:\win\CARDS.DLL corrupted", and the second one a blank dialog error box with an ok button! DO NOT DO IT! I made a backup before trying it. What a pain in the but situation I am in.... My Mother hates the ME version of sol.exe because she's used to 'right clicking automatically putting the cards in the upper right without dragging them' on my XP machine... Now I think I actually have to install XP (which I do not have the disk for) on her pc. Never thought a simple thing like right clicking in the ME Solitaire game would be the huge problem that makes her hate the new computer!!???!! Anyone know how to make the XP version work in ME? |

| 137769 | 2009-02-24 14:15:00 | Well, I found a free replacement. It is just like the XP version of Solitaire, but with more features -yet the same game (and with the XP "right-click feature". You can get it at download.cnet.com, a reputable site. The address is below. Hope my Mom likes it and doesn't make me install XP on her pc just to get the damned Solitaire. She hates the Win ME version and it is sooo important that she has the better version of Solitaire that she doesn't want her computer and will still use mine (she lives with us and I want my computer back, so I built her one and WinME is all I have to put on it...) Hope this helps some other people with the same situation. After all, Moms will be Moms... lol download.com/PySol/3000-2647_4-10814635.html |

Take multiple screen shots and paste them into Powerpoint and you can make it go as fast or as slow as you'd like ^_^ |
