Problem of FreeCell
I tried the suggestions (delete the game, reinstall System Restore) none of them worked. I have saved my computer last week. I have to restore the entire system every time that happens? It's so frustrating! My cards slide not just above the side where I could see at least them, they fall completely off the screen!
Hi Frankiedu66,
Welcome to Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.
You have this problem with Windows XP or Vista?
Facing this problem with Free Cell or with other games of Microsoft?
It is perhaps a resolution, so please check with the resolution settings.
In Vista, you can enlarge the FreeCell game window and check if you can see the slides.
Hope this information is useful.

Problems with Freecell after "acceleration" of my computer
I play Freecell sequentially, until a recent "speeding upward" from my computer, when the cards cascade upwards, and then cascade down I was able to press F3 and just change
the last digit press on enter and so on. Now, after that the cards were cascaded to the top, I get a message of congratulations and have to restart thr game from scratch, by typing in the whole number.
Is there something in the settings to return to my old system? I use W7 Ultimate 64 bit

I have an open cell which does not allow me to place the cards; and the next open cell receives all cards that should be loaded into the empty cell and places them on top already loaded maps.

FreeCell game moves the columns to the wrong place
I checked the related topics were displayed with no luck.
My problem is a column had moved and was in the wrong place. Column 7 of 8 has been moved down beyond the end of column 8 and is now fully functional, to the right of the screen. Now the right column 7 appears empty and is not recognized as a plus column.
I tried to post on the other posts instead of starting a new post, but none of the experts seem to be looking back.
I tried all the suggestions. Restore privious point, uninstall/reinstall, sfc/scannow, several resets etc. No luck.
Other solutions?
It is absolutely amazing. Than to repair a 800ko program/game it will take hours of effort to go through a reinstallation. Backig to the top of my data, reinstall my programs, desktop, shortcuts, passwords etc.
The option 'fix' using the disc is not available for me because I have a Dell laptop which has the hidden partition "system restore." I don't think that the option is available. I'll check.
It seems that where ever FreeCell 'will' and 'comes' of when you use the "Turn Windows Freatures power' is corrupted.
Just an aside, is that the problem has added a "degree of difficulty" to play FreeCell, that I adapted for. I think that at this time I'll just live with it and add another element to the list of what's wrong with MicroSoft Vista.

Original title: Reinstall Freecell.exe and CARDS.dll
I permanently deleted freecell.exe from my computer at home about 3 months ago since I played him too much. [It is not in the Recycle Bin, but permanently deleted.]
It may be slightly addictive, see.
Now I want that he return!
I copied freecell.exe of my employer's computer to my home computer, but whenever I click on the icon, I get the message error "CARDS.dll is missing from your computer."
I looked for where I could get this dll on the net file, for example, Microsoft, but only get directed to sites who want to scan my registry until they give me the download, and I'm just wary of them and their peers.
I guess my basic question is: how to find a good copy of the CARDS.dll file and put it in the right place on my home computer.
I have my original purchase recovery discs, but I hesitate to start with there rooting.
Thanks in advance.

How to cancel a "save game" that keeps returning to Freecell and Mah Jong Titans?
My Freecell and mah jong games titans keep bringing the same games saved once - I can't move. Is it a virus or what?
I had this problem also. I have Windows 7. I found a solution that worked for me.
I went into 'Control panel' and chose 'features of the program. I selected "turn Windows features On and Off". I removed the check mark from FreeCell under games. I left the 'control panel '.
I then did a search for files on my computer for the word "freecell". My goal was to find that everything about "FreeCell" and remove it from my computer. I found a folder in 'My music' which had a subfolder named \SavedGames\Microsoft Games\Freecell. (I have no idea how it got there and I think you might find the folder anywhere, not necessarily in my music.) I deleted this file. I also removed the icon in my Dock of Windows FreeCell. I did a search on the word "freecell" again to make sure that nothing was left. Research found without any reference to 'freecell.
I then back to 'control panel '; chose "features of the program." seclected "turn Windows features on and Off"; and well, put a check mark next to FreeCell under games.
It worked for me.

Hardware acceleration is not enabled on my video card driver when playing Freecell
Original title: "Hardware Acceleration"
Ladies and gentlemen,
I just clean installed Win 7 to replace Vista on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 (bought in 2008), and it went smoothly.
However, when I tried the game "Freecell", I got the message that hardware acceleration is not enabled on my video card driver.
How to achieve this please?
(Device Manager displays the graphics card to be a standard VGA graphics card and the driver is supposed to be later)
With thanks a lot
Singletsigma
Hello
As the indicated error hardware acceleration must be supported by the video card
and the drivers used. Check with Dell for the updated drivers, as well as the manufacturer of the device for
the video device for the even more recent drivers. Do not assume because the Device Manager displays the
present drivers as later that they are really - see how to upgrade the drivers below.Dell support
http://support.Dell.com/Dell support drivers - product manual & warranty Info (left side) - and much more
http://support.Dell.com/support/index.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=DHSDell forums
http://en.community.Dell.com/forums/
========================IF your graphics (video device) and driver both allow hardware acceleration.
1. choose Start > Control Panel.
2. double-click on customization, and then select display settings.
3. click on advanced settings.
4. click on change settings on the Troubleshooting tab.
5. move the cursor to Enable hardware acceleration
6. click on apply and then click OK to accept the new setting and close the dialog box.
7. click OK to close the display properties dialog box.
8 restart Windows.========================
References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.
It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (updated video driver manually.)This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
