I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and all is fine EXCEPT, the version of Spider Solitaire which is included is really clunky when compared with the version on Windows XP.

Does anyone know how I can get hold of the XP version and so make life just a little more bearable!

Thank
K/van

It seems you are not alone: Click Here. If you google "XP spider solitaire for Windows 7" all kinds of sites with discussions and downloads come up. Good luck! I really enjoy the game.

....and the ultimate answer seems to be here (click).

I want to get the aquarium screensaver that was included with previous versions of Windows. Anybody know how?

K/L and JO - Thanks for that response. Reading the messages on the discussion group site its nice to know I'm not the only saddo in the world.

I have a friend who still has XP on his machine so I'll get a pen drive and copy the files over as described on the link from Joe and see if normality can be restored.

1203 with two suits, is my best score so far.
I too prefer the XP version, luckily I have still got a PC running XP

1172 with two suits, but I play mostly just for fun and to occupy my mind, so usually take the easy route with just one suit.:-)

The best screensaver I ever saw was the blue screen of death one...it's fun to put it on some one else's computer...and watch them freak out...
