rockford	Anyone still got access to a pc running Windows XP? > Reveal 🔎 I want the original Solitaire and MineSweeper games from it to put onto Win 8.1. I had WinXP on three old dead computers and my Mac, but since updating to Mavericks on the Mac Parallels 6 no longer works so I can't access the games. The updated games on Win7 sucked. These are the files and their original locations - Spider c:\windows\system32\spider.exe Classic Solitaire c:\Windows\system32\cards.dll c:\Windows\system32\sol.exe Freecell c:windows\system32\freecell.exe MineSweeper c:\Windows\system32\winmine.exe I don't need the .chm files, but they might come in handy too. Don't care about Hearts - don't know how to play it! PM me if you want to help

Jayenkai	Nope, sorry. One's 7, the other's 8. Could you VM it? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Wouldn't know how TBH. Wine could probably access it on the Mac, but dunno. It's probably not worth it for the sake of these old games. I do have a valid DVD for XP, so if worst comes to the worst I could use it. I've downloaded the Win8.xx versions free from M$, but they aren't a patch on the originals, which are cleaner and clearer graphically.

Jayenkai	Yeah.. Only Microsoft could break something as obvious as Minesweeper and Solitaire!! Also, gentle reminder that you're a coder, and there's a gap in the market -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I have got code for several card games somewhere. I did a few in Div about 15 or so years ago. Trouble is, remember those CD/DVDs of Kuron's? My CDs/DVDs are exactly the same and the code will be on one of them... FUCK ME!!!! I just tried the Win 8.XX Solitaire Collection from M$. Takes a fucking age to load and then connects to the XBox cloud. I just want something that's instant without any fucking thrills (and should be totally OFFLINE). Way to go M$ - Uninstalled without even playing a single fucking game. Got to be a record.
