My freecell opens with a layered column. It seems that the 1st column is at the front and between the 2nd and 3rd columns. When you click on one of the columns under the overlay column it will be put forward and overlap the other columns. This only happens with the first three columns.
How can it be fixed so once again, there are individual columns?
Thank you

Original title: spider solitaire
OK, this may sound stupid, but I play a lot of solitaire in the form of "FreeCell" and "Spider". (thousands of games scored, both were copied from XP to Vista)
Currently, so 99% of wins, and here to keep the TWO scores will when I go from Vista to Windows 7.
Is it possible to transfer the scores as well as two games?
I moved/copied two games on a secondary hard drive (the two files of game of the C; \program files\microsoft games\ freecell) (& spider solitaire) including hidden files.
I'm just worried, scores can be kept elsewhere in another folder & I'll lose them... two .mui is copied to the new folder as well as the rest of the files (in the case of assistance)
Someone tell me if the scores will transfer more once I have switch to Win7? Or do I have to look elsewhere?
Thank you.
You run Easy Transfer on the Vista installation, and then restore from Windows 7.
Easy transfer should should be on the files that contain the stats but I don't know if they will be compatible. Since they resumed their XP to Vista, I do not see why they not well with Windows 7.
Regarding Windows Mail, what I understand, it can be done, but it is not taken in charge and there may be unforeseen problems accordingly.

Screen Freecell on vista turns black and white
My freecell turns black and white screen and strange behavior. I use ms vista. It also shows only the #8181 game. It never happens on my XP machine. Thanks for the reply in advance.
Hi Karen,.
a. Since when are you facing this problem?

Method 1: I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the game and check.
1. close all programs.
2. click on the Start button and then click Control Panel.
3. under programs, click on uninstall a program.
4. in the pane tasks, click on turn Windows features on or off.
5. in the windows features list, click the plus sign next to games.
6. under games clear the checkbox for freecell.
7. you receive a warning message in a pop-up window. Click Yes.
8. now restart the computer and then go to Windows features turn on or off features. Place a cell check free of charge. You receive a warning message in a pop-up window. Click Yes.
9. restart your computer.
Method 2: If the method above is not enough, you can try to create the new user profile and see if the problem still occurs there.
To create a new profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile will also be created.
1. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click user accounts and family safety (or by clicking on user accounts, if you are connected to a network domain), and then clicking user accounts.
2. click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

4. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

I just bought a new computer with Windows Vista business. It comes with games, but not the classics that I'm used to. I would like to be able to download classic Solitare and Free Cell. Can you tell me where to get them and how to download them? Thank you.
joshuasmama,
Well, I'm not familiar with this games has on the Business edition. However if the games are available and all simply not loaded then you can load the as follows:Click Start > Control Panel > programs > "Turn Windows features on or off" (it is listed under the "programs and features")
A window opens with a list of all Windows components that are available. If it has a check mark next to it, then he is responsible. Then go to the 'Games' folder, click on the + to open the folder. If the games you want are listed and unverified, then put a check mark next to them and click OK. They will then arrange.If already, he has control and is not in your list of games, and then uncheck the box, click ok, restart, and then back in, check it out.
Try and let us know what happens.

Fortunately I download from the Internet if necessary - I like to keep a 'traditional' desktop shortcut (I don't like or use the new windows desktop 8). I can't find games with the same background, the bridges of photo tips for FreeCell, and ability to delete FreeCell statistics.
I know that these games, but a lot changed on Windows 8, but I would like to than the original versions.
Can anyone help?
Thank you very much
Hello
In windows 8, you can download and install games on Windows Store. Games are embedded as in previous versions of Windows are not present in Windows 8. You can download Microsoft Solitaire Collection in the Windows store that includes 5 variants of Solitaire (Klondike, FreeCell, Spider, TriPeaks and pyramid).
Most of the games you know and played on earlier versions of Windows, also works with Windows 8, but some older games might not. To see if your favorite game works with Windows 8, go to the Compatibility Center for Windows 8and then press or click the game on PC to see if there's information about your game.
Check out the link for more information.

No error message is displayed.
I tried:
1. Uninstall and then reinstall the games through Control Panel.
2. both UAC on and outside
3. create a new user accountIE8 and SP2 running
chuck229,
I suggest that try you a few things. Try first disabled at boot and then see if you are able to start them. If you still have a problem, and then run the System File Checker. You can also run the error-checking on your disk drive. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

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.
