The minesweeper version in XP is different than ME. How
do you maximize the screen, It's too small to deal with.
I know you can use the customize option to change it a
little, but I want it full screen on the expert setting.
Please send all info you have on this. If I can't play
full screen in XP give me a download for a full screen or
larger version. I would like the cheat codes for
reference if possible. So far, I've been very
disappointed with XP. Any help would be appreciated, just
e-mail me.

Hi Mike,

To make one of the Windows Games such as Solitaire larger:

First, copy the game:
Click Start / All Programs / Games
Right click on the game (Minesweeper in your case Mike)
Select Properties from the list
Press the "Find Target" button on the next window
Right Click on the highlighted file and select Copy

Next paste the copy to your Desktop:
Right Click on your Desktop
Select Paste from the list

Finally, we'll change the resolution setting for the game:
Right click on the game you just pasted to your Desktop
Select Properties from the list and Click on the Compatibility Tab
Put a check in the box marked "Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution"

Now whenever you want to play, click on that game on your Desktop and it
will open in full screen mode using the largest Cards and Numbers possible! :)
