Found the Bug in Spider Solitaire

I found a bug in Spider Solitaire, on xp64, don't know if it still exists in Windows 7.

I was a 'Simple' game and removed 7 combinations of Spades before trying to deal with the last set of 10 cards.

With 7 costumes removed, there were only 3 cards remaining in the game.

When I tried to cope, I got the dialog box error "You are not allowed to deal with a new line while there are empty slots."

The problem is that I didn't let enough cards to fill all of the empty boxes, so there is no way to end the game.

I did some quick calculations, and decided the likelihood of this situation arising from is about 1/100 for a simple game, but much less for average games or difficult.

    I liked the XP version on Spider Solitaire and would like to have it and lonely on my desktop Windows 8.  How can I do this?

    This game, as well as all other Microsoft used to put at the disposal of their operating systems have been removed by the design of Windows 8 and are not available. You can find a lot of free or sell card games in the App store. Your other choice would be to search the Web for third-party games.  Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

  • Play the Spider Solitaire Vista using the keyboard

    Hi, I have recently acquired a new computer with windows vista. Also, my old computer has windows vista. I am a big fan of Spider :) solitaire However, I don't like that play SS with my keyboard... I hate using the mouse. On my old computer, I had no problem using only the keyboard. Now, with this new version of vista (?), I can only use the keyboard to show me the clues... Shortcut keys changed? or y at - it no hotkeys on this new version? Thanks for your help!

    Hello Darcrista.

    I don't think that Spider had functional changes between Windows Vista and Windows 7.  The arrow keys and enter still work here.
