Spider Solitaire animation won't work

[llbresee]

I have the same symptoms as Orpheus2000 posted in November 2011. Unfortunately for me, that thread ended without any apparent resolution. I've tried everything suggested yet Spider Solitaire still won't show the animation. When I go to 'options' the 'show animation' option is checked but greyed out. Please help. Thanks.

You can try

Go to the Control Panel and select Programs and Features
Then select Turn Windows Features On or OFF on the lfet of the window.
Go to Games and uncheck Spider solitaire
Reboot your computer
Go back and recheck Spider solitaire.
You may have to reboot again.

OR

Go to Control Panel\Performance Information and Tools\Adjust Visual Effects.
Just check :Animate controls and elements inside windows", that will take care of it.

Hope this helps .
