Windows 8 is ridiculous! How to make a simple solitaire game?
I'm putting in a lonely place for my mother (92 years) to play on his new computer with windows 8. I am familiar with the apps that I have an ipad and iphone and. I can't get a simple downloaded solitaire game. I really think that Windows 8 has made using a PC more difficult. I am a college graduate and a retired teacher and have used computers for over 15 years. I even tried to sign Xbox to see if that would help. What can I do?

How to change the background color in the Solitaire game
I would like to know if there is a way to extend the colors for the SOLITAIRE game? My father detects the colors of the background and maps are too hard and they appear blurry to me and him also. He wondered if we could add more colors in order to get more variety in both the background and maps. Thank you!
Sandy
Hello
You will not be able to add colors for maps or background, but you can change the color of background and maps and also to enlarge the maps.
a. Click Start, click games.
b. Open Solitaire.
c. click on the game and then click change appearance.
d. Select your favorite background or bridge color.
e. Select the option "Large print bridge." This will expand the ID card, but not the card. Cards will be the same size, but the name of the map will be bigger.Reference:

How to reset many Solitaire games played and won Matches of the counters?
How to reset many Solitaire games played and won Matches of the counters?
Hi Keith,
Found an answer for Vista, that should work for you in Windows 7.
To reset the game statistics, you must delete some files. These files will be re-created automatically the next time you play the game. The files are located in the following location: 'C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Microsoft Games\ [game]", where [username] is the name of your account and [game] is the name of the game (in your case, Solitaire). Just delete the contents of the folder, but DO NOT delete the folder itself.
