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.

    Hello

    It s very strange that the sound is working and it seems fine with all other applications.
    Maybe the sound drivers card is damaged or is not compatible with Windows solitaire and spider games.
    I recommend you visit the page of the Toshiba driver and first update the sound card driver.

  • Why do you not more than 2 identical cards (face and costume) when playing Spider Solitaire with 2 card games on the computer?

    Trouble with Spider Solitaire.  Why do you think that more than 2 identical card (for example, the 2 of Spades) when playing with only 2 sets of cards?

    I think you mean that you choose "two Suits' aka intermediate level.  In the game to beginners, you use 1 costume, but the number of card must be the same (if I remember it's like 104 cards).  So that can really get out of four card games, but only one suit is shown.  If you choose "Two Suits", you get two costumes, but again, you have need of 104 cards.  So, it's several terraces.  So just some confusion here, this isn't two bridges, but two costumes.

    Hello

    1. what changes have been made to your computer before the problem?
    2. the problem occurs on a particular file?
    3. What is the format of the file you want to play in Windows Media Player?

    You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

    (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

    (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

    Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

    Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

    If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  • Play and rename the clip in the project Panel, using only the keyboard

    I want to use my keyboard to navigate through the items displayed in the thumbnail view in the Panel project (pictured below), play these clips and rename these clips. Already, I am able to up, down, left, right keys to navigate and can press ENTER to rename the clip. However, the space bar does not play the selected clip unless I use my mouse to click on it.

    Screen Shot 2016-05-09 at 10.22.43 AM.png

    I really want to avoid using my mouse in this process. This will greatly enhance the convenience of crosses a lot of clips and visualizing and renamed.

    Someone at - it suggestions? Open to workarounds or other ways to skin this cat.

    It is a problem I always had with first - I think that it is not a solution, but I wanted to ask the community to see if someone has found a way.

    Using Mac OS X 10.10, latest version of first CC

    Hey mammolastan,

    I don't think there is a way to play a clip with Sapcebar in the project without first Panel by clicking on it. You should have a demand: feature request/Bug Report Form

    There is a work around using only keyboard shortcuts, if you are interested. I prefer this workflow myself because you have to make the thumbnails big enough so that they can be useful, in my opinion.

    If you have already said, you can navigate with the arrow keys, press ENTER to return to rename and move to another clip or enter on the numeric keypad to not go to the next clip. When I do what you, I open my clips in the Source monitor and view them there, air conditioned and have no mice. SHIFT + O is the default shortcut to open an item in the Source monitor, but I've changed mine to Cmd + down arrow (as OS X). Then you can shuttle, set in/out points, make markers, etc., and then when you go to your next video you press SHIFT + 1 to return to your project Panel. It's more shortcuts, Yes, but given that you are looking for a KB option-driven, I feel you're fast enough with your fingers, and once you do it a few times, it is true no big thing at all.

  • Not able to play the game Metro 2033 on Windows Vista-based computer.

    I just installed the game Metro 2033 on my Vista system that uses a 1080 screen.  In fact, I have two identical screens.

    The game requires activation Steam and Steam normally will attempt to update the program rather than simply enable it during installation.  This leaves a person in the dark as to what happens during the installation.

    It turns out, I use a 3G modem that Steam refuses to support their network of Bit Torrent, so download speed for an update of a concert is around 12 kb/s or 8 hours to make the point on a program that has not yet installed.

    After work, I was quite surprised to find that the program would not go on Steam.  He then took a few hours to find out that there is a solution, that I could load the game by running the executable file that had been installed in the directory Steam for Metro 2033.

    Unfortunately Metro2033, when started this default way a unknown screen resolution.  Thus when the game is started from the Steam directory nested, one gets a message "out of range" on the display of 1080 and nothing can be seen.

    Short of launching the game out, I tried the game again, to my great joy, the second run displays a safe mode issue and I ran it in safe mode.  It is quite an exciting game and I played it all night.  However, I had also contacted support original THQ regarding installation problem/solution.

    Then I fell asleep.  The PC was on.

    The next day, I played the 2003 Metro game again, but I entered in some difficult areas of the game, and I had to reload the saved game.  After awhile, I opted to exit the program.  Later, I started the program, but this time I inadvertently clicked on the Metro2033 icon who had installed Steam.   In my solution, I had pasted a link to the directory of Steam under the original icon and had pressed the wrong button.

    Of course, the first thing I saw, after playing the game for 12 hours, was "out of range".  I opted to return to the office...

    ... However I couldn't come back on the Vista desktop.  I have a 7000, and even Microsoft Entertainment keyboard by pressing the buttons of Windows or Media center wouldn't let me come back to the office.

    The day before, I needed to do this that I've experienced to workaround to start getting and I noticed that the only way I could get on the desktop to run the Task Manager to kill the out of range on my screen message has been to press the Media Center button.

    Once the Media Center menu on breaking the subway 2003 menu I could then enter the office and use the Task Manager.

    However, the next day when I inadvertently started the STEAM version, and again, the screen is become black and says 'Out of Range', I found that my system was stuck in this loop.  No way to get in the Manager of tasks at all, not even with the Media center button on my keyboard.

    Now the background of my question.  When I was forced to start my system again, I noticed the normal BIOS screen and the bar of Vista with Vista is loading, then the familiar sound of Vista boot, but now NO SCREEN at all on startup!  Now, something had inserted a driver in my Vista start which forced my display say "Out of Range" from the start of the desktop of Vista and Vista computer has not yet noticed this.  Normally, I would think that they claim that the screen resolution is wrong and put it on, instead, nothing else than the out of range message rigid or flexible boots.

    Original title: can someone tell me what happened here? Metro2033 and steam game.

    I checked by plugging my second monitor.   The system has Safe Mode startup and I was able to do a restore of the system from the previous day to evening to return to the office.   However, I am quite confused as to what happened.  How the Metro 2033 problem "out of range" migrate to Windows startup by running an update of Steam?

    I use the latest service pack for Vista.


    It seems that the STEAM snuck in an update and then everything worked fine.
