1222459 2011-08-11 03:26:00 I acknowledge that this means I have too much time on my hands and should get a life, but I've been playing a lot of Win7 Spider Solitaire lately. Over the last week or so it has started crashing on me unpredictably. I click somewhere and get the standard screen whiteout and then "the executable for Spider Solitaire has stopped working" and the usual restart or check for a solution and restart.

I haven't found any references to this online - has anyone else experienced this?

Note I am talking about spider crashing, not Windows.

1222460 2011-08-11 03:33:00 Does it show a file in this crash? I would look in event viewer. Go to the orb type eventvwr.msc. Then go to windows logs / applications. And see what errors are there. To do with solitaire Speedy Gonzales (78)
1222461 2011-08-11 04:45:00 Go to Programs and Features, tell it to remove it (from windows components) and then put it back.

But really you should go get PG Solitaire instead.

None of that means a lot to me - any ideas?

PCTek - I'll try that and see what happens.

But really you should go get PG Solitaire instead.Removed, rebooted, replaced. Worked a couple of times and then fell over again. Is there a plan B?

BTW is PG Solitaire Pretty Good Solitaire?

Techy: As part of its user interface, an application has tried to operate on a procedure that monitors the system for certain events, without specifying which one.

Non-Techy: It's stuffed.

Try the remove and add back.
