Guest

A friend has a screen shot of 2 of the exact same cards in Microsofts current
XP version of Solitaire. The screen shot was taken as he played the game. as
i write this i am at another PC and had not been able to reproduce, but the
pic is genuaine.

Also he reports cards in use in stacks fliped to show the back causing
problems.

for ether condition you must quit the game and he dose not like to loose

is there a fix or other game?

reinstall from XP pro CD results in same result

Hi jmgrayii,

Since you're not able to reproduce it on your system...

Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! :)

1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using this utility: http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml
or this method: http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php

You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php

2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com and then
install MS AntiSpyware from: www.microsoft.com/spyware to
remove any Spyware or Adware which could clog up your PC.

3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.

4. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:

Hi jmgrayii,

I'll have to investigate this further, maybe even try to reproduce the issue.
Once I'm able to do that, it will be easy to find the solution. :)
