Win2000 Solitaire on XP?

[goldtech]

I do not like the Solitaire game in XP. Specifically I don't like how
it looks and feels.

I prefer the Win2000 game.

Is there any way to get that old version onto my XP machine? I still
have my old Win2000 install disk...

This is mission critical!

Thanks

If it's that important to you... why don't you setup a dual-boot
situation?

You can expand SOL.CH_, SOL.EX_, and SOL.HL_ from the I386 folder on the
Win2k install CD to SOL.CHM, SOL.EXE, and SOL.HLP in a folder of your
choosing, and run SOL.EXE from there.

When I do this, it looks and acts almost exactly like the SOL that comes
with WinXP (except for the little box of cards icon at the top left), but I
use the "Classic" view for everything, so almost everything looks like it
did in Win2k.
